Introductionm1215be099b02c5e7_1528450127855_0Introduction

The teacher introduces the subject of the lesson - calculating the coordinates of points symmetric with respect to axes of the coordinate system and creating figures symmetric with respect to axes of the coordinate system.

At home students revise ways of creating the image of the point in the symmetrysymmetrysymmetry with respect to a line.

Procedurem1215be099b02c5e7_1528446435040_0Procedure

Flipped classroom.

The teacher asks chosen students to give coordinates of points symmetric with respect to:

a) axisaxisaxis X for points A (3, 6), B (-5, 2), C (-3, -1),

b) axisaxisaxis Y for points A (3, 6), B (-5, 2), C (-3, -1).

Discussion – can we formulate general rules for determining the coordinates of points symmetric about axes of the coordinate system?

The conclusion to sum‑up the discussion:

- By transforming point A (x, y) in symmetrysymmetrysymmetry about axisaxisaxis X we obtain the point A' (x, -y).

- By transforming point A (x, y) in symmetry about axisaxisaxis Y we obtain the point A' (-x, y).

Task
Students work individually, using computers. Their task is to create a polygonpolygonpolygon symmetric with respect to axisaxisaxis X to a given polygonpolygonpolygon. They practice this skills on many examples.

Students use obtained information in exercises.

Task
There are points A (2, 0) and B (-1, 3). Determine coordinates of points symmetric to points A and B with respect to axis X. Which point did not change its position?m1215be099b02c5e7_1527752256679_0There are points A (2, 0) and B (-1, 3). Determine coordinates of points symmetric to points A and B with respect to axis X. Which point did not change its position?

Task
There is a triangle ABC whose apexes are A (2, -5), B (-2, 1) and C (3, 6). Give coordinates of apexes of the triangle symmetric to the given one with respect to:

a) axisaxisaxis X,

b) axisaxisaxis Y.

Draw the ABC triangle and its image in the coordinate system.

Task
The point S (0, 4) is the centre of a circle whose radiusradiusradius is 2.

a) Draw an image of the circle in symmetrysymmetrysymmetry about axisaxisaxis X.

b) Give coordinates of the centre and the length of the radiusradiusradius of the drawn circle.

An extra task:
Axis Y is the axis of symmetry of the rectangle ABCD in which A (3, 4) and C (-2, -3).
a) Give coordinates of the other apexes of the rectangle.
b) Calculate its area.

Lesson summarym1215be099b02c5e7_1528450119332_0Lesson summary

Students do the revision exercises.

Then together they sum‑up the classes, by formulating the conclusions to memorise.

- By transforming point A (x, y) in symmetrysymmetrysymmetry about axisaxisaxis X we obtain the point A' (x, -y).

- By transforming point A (x, y) in symmetrysymmetrysymmetry about axisaxisaxis Y we obtain the point A' (-x, y).
