GM3-4: Represent objects with drawings and models.
Elaboration on this Achievement Objective
This means students will make drawings of objects, which can take the form of plan views or nets.

Note that a net is a flat shape that folds to form a solid. Many different nets form the same solid, for example there are eleven different nets that form a cube. At Level Three students need to create two-dimensional drawings of three-dimensional models, as above, and be able to recreate the model when given another person’s drawings of it. Models may be built with interlocking cubes, plasticine, connecting geometric shapes or other materials, for example toothpicks and plasticine.

This unit examines the use of reflective, rotational, and translational symmetry in the design of logos. Logos are designs associated with a particular trade name and usually involve symmetry of some kind. This is to make them aesthetically pleasing as well as functional.
find all the lines of reflection symmetry in a given shape identify the order of rotational symmetry of a given shape (how many times it "maps" onto itself in a full turn) create designs which have reflection symmetry, rotational symmetry (orders 2, 3, 4, 6) and translational symmetry
