How to use this worksheet
- Before drawing, study the model together: the saucer is much wider than it is tall, the dome covers only the middle of it, and the beam starts under the saucer and spreads out below.
- Your child draws the remaining saucers in each row alone, in the same order as the model: flat oval from the left end, dome on top, beam below; keeping every oval equally wide matters more than drawing fast.
What this worksheet teaches
Drawing from the model asks the child to look, plan and then check: how wide is the oval, where does the dome begin, which way do the sides of the beam slant? Copying these proportions without dashes, and comparing each saucer with the model afterward, is the same looking-and-checking habit used when copying words from a book or the board.
Play idea
Play odd one out: your child secretly draws one saucer in the last row a little differently — a taller dome or a wider beam — and you have to find it by comparing with the model.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Should my child look back at the model after every saucer?
Yes, a quick glance is part of the task: comparing the width of the oval and the position of the dome keeps the sixth row as accurate as the first.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 5–6 — with only one dashed saucer per row, the page shows whether your child can repeat a long flat oval and a symmetrical dome at the same size across six rows.
How long does this worksheet take?
Usually about 15 minutes, as each saucer is quick to draw; if the ovals get flatter row after row, take a break after the third row.
