National Curriculum Objectives

Mathematics Year 6: (6P3) Describe positions on the full coordinate grid (all four quadrants)

Mathematics Year 6: (6P2) Draw and translate simple shapes on the coordinate plane, and reflect them in the axes

Differentiation:
Varied Fluency
Developing Questions to support reflecting shapes across the x or y axis. Using regular shapes with up to four sides. Single reflections only.
Expected Questions to support reflecting shapes across the x or y axis. Using shapes with up to five sides, where some shapes may be irregular. Some use of multiple reflections.
Greater Depth Questions to support reflecting shapes across the x or y axis. Using irregular shapes with up to six sides and multiple reflections. Including grids of varying scales with some points plotted between increments.

Reasoning and Problem Solving
Questions 1, 4 and 7 (Problem Solving)
Developing Describe how a shape has moved when translated and reflected across the x or y axis. Using regular shapes with up to four sides. 
Expected Describe how a shape has moved when translated and reflected across the x or y axis. Includes regular and irregular shapes with up to 5 sides.
Greater Depth Describe how a shape has moved when translated and reflected multiples times across the x and y axis. Using irregular shapes with up to six sides and grids of varying scales with some points plotted between increments.

Questions 2, 5 and 8 (Problem Solving)
Developing Draw a shape from its reflected coordinates when reflected across the x or y axis. Using regular shapes with up to four sides. 
Expected Draw a shape from its reflected coordinates when reflected across the x or y axis. Includes regular and irregular shapes with up to 5 sides.
Greater Depth Draw a shape from its reflected coordinates when reflected multiple times across the x or y axis. Using irregular shapes with up to six sides and grids of varying scales with some points plotted between increments.

Questions 3, 6 and 9 (Reasoning)
Developing Explain whether a reflection is correct when reflected across the x or y axis. Using regular shapes with up to four sides. 
Expected Explain whether a reflection is correct when reflected across the x or y axis. Includes regular and irregular shapes with up to 5 sides.
Greater Depth Explain whether a reflection is correct when reflected multiple times across the x and y axis. Using irregular shapes with up to six sides and grids of varying scales with some points plotted between increments.
