This is a reflection puzzle on coordinate axes in the topic of transformations.
Students have to use their understanding of horizontal and vertical lines and the lines y = x and y = -x to reflect the shapes to form a word.
I used these jigsaw pieces to make up teams within the class. Each member of the group has one piece of the jigsaw. They draw lots of things which are important to them; things that they like to do, their families, their favourite things, etc. My groups were teams of 9, but you could adapt this for your class. It was a nice activity for the beginning of the school year. The finished jigsaws make a colourful display in the classroom.
