What does it mean to have line symmetry? Give one example of something in nature which has line symmetry that was not in the video.
2
Spend some time making patterns that have symmetry. Then answer the questions at the bottom of the page on a sheet of paper.
3
Explore rotational symmetry. Write the question and your answer on a separate sheet of paper. Then, write the correct answer if you answered incorrectly.
4
Once you have finished studying this site, create your own hub cap with rotational symmetry.
5
Explore translational symmetry and start thinking about a design you could translate. . .
6
You've been working hard . . . take a little time to relax and play. =)
7
On a separate sheet of paper, list the types of symmetry found on this page and a brief description of each. Then, give a new example of something from nature for each type of symmetry. You may want to go to the next site in the trail for help.
9
List the three types of symmetry found here and give an example and a non-example of each.
10
Spend at least ten minutes exploring what happens when you reflect, rotate or translate a polygon. Be prepared to discuss your findings.
11
Read through the discussion and determine which type of symmetry tessellations falls into. You will be creating a tessellation at the end of this unit.
12
SymFace - See your face in a whole new way! After we've taken your photo, see how "symmetric" you are!
