Symmetric Patterns
A plane figure has symmetry if there is a non-trivial transformation that maps
the figure onto itself. A trivial transformation refers to the identity
transformation which maps every point in the plane onto itself.

fish: rotation

Homework
I. Use a Graphing paper and colored pens/pencils
Given the triangle with vertices at (1,4), (4,3), and (2, -1), Answer the following:
sketch the pre-image and the image after the given
transformation is applied. Based on your graph, identify 1. (x, y) → (x, -y)
the transformation as a translation, reflection, rotation, 2. (x, y) → (2x, 2y)
or other transformations. (Using different colors will help)
3. (x, y) → (x + 4, - y)
Example:
4. (x, y) → (x + 4, y – 3)
(x, y) → (5 - x, y);
(1,4) → (4,4);
(4,3) → (1, 3);
(2, -1) → (3, -1)
Type of Transformation:
Reflection
Homework
II. In a short bond paper, create you own Irregular Tessellation by Translation with the use
of colored papers. Paste the Irregular tessellation in the short bond paper. You may use
the figure below as your guide for making an Irregular Tassellation. Be creative and do not
copy any works from the Internet. Staple the Graphing Paper for Test I and the short bond
paper for Test II. Anyone with the same design for this activity will automatically get a zero
