SYMMETRY. Reflection,
Rotation, Translation...
At the eTHEMES
list of Internet Resources for Teaching and Sharing, go to GEOMETRY:
SYMMETRY.
For example, at The Symmetry Around the World Project, you can explore symmetry with faces, masks, rugs, advertising, religious symbols, the Taj Mahal (above), a butterfly animation, and a virtual kaleidoscope (interactive). Have fun exploring symmetry with a 3-D Symmetry Interactive Demonstration, using a cube, octahedron, sphenoid, and a tetrahedron. Challenge: See if you can completely cover the surface with the Doggy Mosaic puzzle at The Puzzle Playground. http://www.puzzles.com/PuzzlePlayground/DoggyMosaic/DoggyMosaic.htm |
