Reflections
Students will perform and describe reflections of shapes across horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines.
Key Questions
- Explain what properties of a shape are preserved during a reflection.
- Construct the image of a shape after a reflection across a given line.
- Analyze the relationship between an object and its image under reflection.

5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
