<p> The Symmetry of Snowflakes</p><p>This project focuses on 8th Grade Math Indicators Geometry 2: Recognize the angles formed and the relationship between the angles when two lines intersect . . . and Geometry 5: Draw the results of translations, reflections, rotations and dilations of objects in the coordinate plane, and determine properties that remain fixed…</p><p>As you can see, snowflakes are hexagonal in shape. Your assignment will be to construct a hexagonal snowflake. You have two choices: 1. use a pre-designed snowflake. 2. create a snowflake of your own design. You will be required to do the following:</p><p>*Draw a “slice” (1/12) of the snowflake design (30 degrees) 5 pts. *Draw out the design on the template demonstrating your knowledge of rotational and reflection transformations. 10 pts. *Fold and cut out the shape on a piece of paper. 10 pts. *Mount your snow flake on colored paper (to be displayed in the hallway and room) 5 pts.</p><p>Total points for the project will be 30 points. The project will be due December 20, 2007 at the end of the period. </p>
