Transformations: Reflection and Rotation
Students understand and perform reflections and rotations of 2D shapes on a coordinate plane, identifying the center/axis of transformation.
Key Questions
- What are the key properties that remain unchanged during a reflection or rotation?
- How do coordinates change when a shape is reflected across the x-axis, y-axis, or a given line?
- How can we describe a rotation using its center, angle, and direction?

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.
