Activity Overview
This activity is designed to reinforce the concepts of reflections and translations by having the students create a virtual puppet using Cabri Jr. As they construct their puppets, students will reinforce their understanding of reflections and translations by making predictions about the location of the image points. They will also make conjectures about how the slopes and coordinates of the image and pre-image points are related.
