Repeating Figures and Symmetries
How can tessellations be made with repeating figures?
What four types of symmetry do you look for in repeating figures?
Repeating figures
In most cases, repeating figure tessellations are easy to recognize. Pick out the shape, polygon, polygon unit, or shape that is repeated or rotated.
What is the repeated figure?
Consider color and pattern.

Symmetries
What are the four types of symmetries?TranslationRotationReflectionGlide Reflection
Translation
When a figure is translated, it is moved or slid.
RotationWhen a figure is rotated, it is
turned by degrees.
ReflectionReflection symmetry is also known
as line symmetry.
Vertical line symmetry Horizontal line symmetry
Glide Reflection
Your figure is translated and then reflected in a glide reflection.
