This video looks at GCSE maths reflections questions, and is aimed at around grade 3. The questions should be reasonably straightforward, although you’ll need to be fairly precise with your drawings. It’s always good to have a sharp pencil, and a ruler, on hand 🙂

These types of questions appear in all the main GCSE exam boards – Edexcel, AQA, OCR and Educas – and are fairly common for non calculator papers.
Top Tips!
- Find the line of reflection (mirror line) … but remember to double check, it’s very easy to get the wrong line 🙂
- Take your time – these questions are usually 2/3 marks, and they can make a difference to your overall grade
- Don’t worry about adding ‘working’ lines or showing ‘jumps,’ – it shows the examiner your working
- Does it look right?
