| This time Geometrik wants a hand with symmetry!! | |
| What do you know about symmetry? | |
|
ACTIVITY 1: LINES OF SYMMETRY |
|
| Print this worksheet. | |
| Find the lines of symmetry of each shape. You can fold each shape, use a ruler and a pencil to mark the lines of symmetry. | |
| Complete the grid with the shapes of your worksheet. Stick each shape in the correct place. | |
|
Go to this web, find Lines of symmetry and check your solutions. |
|
|
ACTIVITY 2: REFLECTION DRAWING |
|
Go to this
web 
and open Symmetry Shockwave. |
|
| Draw an irregular shape and your partner has to draw its reflection on a squared paper. | |
|
Check the solution
on the web by clicking on |
|
| Change roles. | |
|
|
|
|
ACTIVITY 3: ROTATION AND REFLECTION |
|
Look
carefully at the flash movie from this web.  |
|
|
You can go to this web (transformations 1) to revise what rotation and reflection is. |
|
| Look at the two 2D shapes, is it rotation or reflection? | |
| Print this and cut them. Print a squared paper. Draw new figures on a squared paper . | |
| Draw A and B with 2 lines of reflectional symmetry. Take a photo. | |
| Draw A and B with 2 lines of rotational symmetry. Take a photo. | |
|
|
|
|
ACTIVITY 4: HITTING A TARGET |
|
Go to this
web and find Transformations-Composition  |
|
| Do the two activities where by choosing reflection, rotation or translation the original image lands exactly on the white shape. | |
