This example demonstrates reflection transformations in geometry. Key mathematical concepts include reflection and geometric construction. It uses GeoGebra commands such as Mirror, Line, and Segment. Suitable for middle school and above students to learn geometric transformations.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. RandomElement({(2, 3), (3, 3), (3, 2), (1, 3)}) → D
  2. Sequence(Sequence[(i, j), i, 1, 5], j, 1, 5) → list1
  3. Flatten(list1) → list2
  4. Shuffle(list2) → list3
  5. First(list3, 1) → list4
  6. Take(list3, 3, 3) → list6
  7. Point(list6) → A
  8. Take(list3, 2, 2) → list5
  9. Point(list6) → C
  10. Point(list5) → B

  12. Line((2, 2), D) → c
  13. Segment(A, B) → a
  14. Segment(E, F) → d
  15. Segment(F, G) → e
  16. Mirror(B, c) → B'
  17. If(Distance[C, lineAB] ≟ 0, C + (sgn(x(lineAB)), sgn(y(lineAB))), C) → CC
  18. Mirror(CC, c) → C'
