Reflection Challenge

Mark one side of your geoboard with a piece of masking tape. This piece of tape will indicate the bottom of your geoboard.

Player 1 creates a figure on his or her geoboard using a geoband. This player then gives his or her geoboard to player 2 and indicates in which direction to create a reflection of this figure: up, down, left, or right. Player 2 attempts to create reflections within one minute. If player 2 is successful, he or she receives one point. Otherwise, Player 1 receives one point. Play several rounds. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins.
