Suitable for Grades: 4th Grade, 8th Grade
CCSS: 4.G.A.3, 8.G.A.1
CCSS Description: Recognize a line of symmetry for a two-dimensional figure as a line across the figure such that the figure can be folded along the line into matching parts. Identify line-symmetric figures and draw lines of symmetry.
Verify experimentally the properties of rotations, reflections, and translations: a. Lines are taken to lines, and line segments to line segments of the same length. b. Angles are taken to angles of the same measure. c. Parallel lines are taken to parallel lines.
This innovative worksheet invites students to explore symmetry and space by reflecting the famous SpaceX Dragon spacecraft. Using a dotty isometric grid, learners will mirror the lines and details of the spacecraft, engaging with concepts of geometry and artistic expression. Once completed, students can color their creations with space-themed hues, merging science, art, and critical thinking skills in a single activity.
