A warm-up for the start of class, before students play or start the worksheet. It reviews symmetry, integers and turns using things students see every day, then asks them to think ahead to flipping a point on a grid. Two tickets print on each page; cut along the dashed line. The answer key prints on its own page after it.
1. Draw the fold line that makes the two wings match.
2. An elevator starts in the garage on floor −1 and goes up 4 floors. Which floor does it stop on?
floor
3. A Ferris wheel car makes half a turn. How many degrees does it turn?
°
4.Think ahead: the point (4, 1) is flipped over the y-axis like a mirror. What do you think its new coordinates are? Why?
Answer Key: Entry Ticket
Slide, Flip, Turn
A vertical line down the middle of the butterfly's body.
−1 + 4 = floor 3
180°
Any reasoning counts. Today's answer: (−4, 1). It stays at the same height, and the same distance from the y-axis on the other side.
Quick read: floor 5 on #2 means the student ignored the negative sign; 90° on #3 confuses half and quarter turns. Use #4 to open the lesson, then check it on the grid in Let's Get to the Point.
