Strip Symmetry

Materials: Handouts

Step 1:

¨ Actively read Investigation 9.10 on pp. 518-21 of Bassarear.

¨ Actively read about translations (pp. 494-7), reflections (pp. 497-8), rotations (pp. 499-500), and combinations of these transformations (p. 500-2) in Bassarear.

¨ Do problems 1d, 16, and 20 starting on page 531 in Bassarear.

¨ Theres is a strip pattern in the architecture of Hopper Gym (top of outside wall). Roughly sketch it and describe the strip symmetry.

¨ Actively read about "Reflective Symmetry" in Math for Fun. Describe the strip symmetry of paper dolls. Can you fold a strip and make paper dolls that results in a different symmetry?
