This teaching and learning resource presents you with a virtual mirror to use on your interactive whiteboard.  Drag the on-screen mirror to reflect the different pictures and diagrams.  Demonstrate what reflective symmetry is and where the reflection lines are on a number of shapes.

 Use your interactive whiteboard instead of trying to use a real mirror in front of a class.

Similar to the last resource. Teach transformations in your maths lesson using this “virtual” tracing paper.   Demonstrate the use of tracing paper in the use of certain transformations in your maths lessons.  Using “virtual” tracing paper you can show the methods using an interactive whiteboard.  The downside is a more complex interface.  You will need to move the paper out of the way to move the shapes.

Turn your interactive whiteboard into a two axis symmetry canvas with this teaching resource.  As you draw in one quadrant your drawing is immediately repeated as a reflection in the other quadrants.  You can also manipulate other shapes within the quadrants.
