Let’s go through each box one by one to see which ones show reflections (flips).
A reflection means the shape on one side of the line is a mirror image of the shape on the other side — like looking in a mirror. The line in the middle is called the “line of reflection.”
---
Top Left Box:
- Two yellow lightning bolts, one on each side of a vertical dashed line.
- They are facing opposite directions and look like mirror images.
✔ This is a reflection.
---
Top Right Box:
- Two blue parallelograms, both slanted the same way.
- They are not mirror images — they’re just copies shifted over.
✘ Not a reflection.
---
Middle Left Box:
- Two red hearts, one on each side of a vertical dashed line.
- They face opposite ways and are perfect mirror images.
✔ This is a reflection.
---
Middle Right Box:
- Two yellow crescent moons, one on each side of a vertical dashed line.
- They face opposite ways and are mirror images.
✔ This is a reflection.
---
Bottom Left Box:
- Two purple arrows, one pointing down, one pointing up, separated by a horizontal dashed line.
- If you flip the top arrow over the line, it becomes the bottom arrow — they are mirror images.
✔ This is a reflection.
---
Bottom Middle Box:
- Two green diamonds, one above the other, separated by a horizontal dashed line.
- They are identical and aligned — flipping one over the line gives the other.
✔ This is a reflection.
---
Bottom Right Box:
- Two blue triangles, one above and one below a diagonal dashed line.
- But if you flip one over the line, it doesn’t match the other — they’re rotated or shifted differently.
✘ Not a reflection.
---
So, the boxes that show reflections are:
- Top Left
- Middle Left
- Middle Right
- Bottom Left
- Bottom Middle
That’s 5 boxes total.
Final Answer:
Check the boxes in the top left, middle left, middle right, bottom left, and bottom middle.
