Math Reviewer Module1-2

This document provides an overview of patterns and symmetry, including the Fibonacci sequence. It discusses: 1) Types of symmetry such as reflection, rotational, and radial symmetry. It also introduces Alan Turing and how patterns in nature arise. 2) The Fibonacci sequence and numbers. It provides an example of the pattern this sequence creates. 3) Geometric patterns such as meander symmetry, spiral symmetry, and fractals. It also defines isometry and types of transformations. 4) Three types of symmetrical patterns - rosette, wallpaper, and tessellation patterns. It provides examples of each type.

Spiral Symmetry – is a curve formed by a

distance.
Fractals – a never-ending loop of patterns
that are caused by infinitely complex
patterns repeating a process under an
ongoing feedback loop.
Isometry – present if there is symmetry.
From the term, “same (iso)”, and “measure
(metry)”.
Transformation – means to change. If used
in geometry, it means a shape will undergo
changes. Translation – movement of the motif without
changing shape, size, or orientation.
TYPES OF TRANSFORMATIONS

rotating at a fixed point through a given

Vertical Reflection.

Dilation – is a type of transformation which


the motif is resized by a determined scale
factor and a point of dilation.

• Dilation is not symmetry. Isometry is


a transformation preserving
distance.

Horizontal Reflection.
Reflection – movement of the motif without
changing size and shape, but by simply
flipping the motif along the reflection line
and creating a mirror image.

Glide Reflection – a type of isometry


combined by reflection and translation with
a direction that mirrors the motif and is
parallel to the line of reflection.

PATTERNS
ROSETTE PATTERNS – usually are
patterns to which a motif rotates and/or
reflects that element. (Usually seen in
medallions and emblems.)
