In this activity, students are developing the concept of symmetrical reflection using mirrors. If you place a mirror across half a shape, the full shape is reflected in the mirror.
This activity allows students to experiment with this concept in a fun problem-solving way.
These answers assume that you have the reflective side of the mirror facing you. The mirror must be one without a frame.
