Symmetry

Can you describe what happens in this film?

Use the clues about the symmetrical properties of these letters to place them on the grid.

I noticed this about streamers that have rotation symmetry : if there was one centre of rotation there always seems to be a second centre that also worked. Can you find a design that has only one centre of rotation ? Or if you thought that was impossible, could you say why ?

When a strip has vertical symmetry there always seems to be a second place where a mirror line could go. Perhaps you can find a design that has only one mirror line across it. Or, if you thought that was impossible, could you explain why ?

A design is repeated endlessly along a line - rather like a stream of paper coming off a roll. Make a strip that matches itself after rotation, or after reflection

Points off a rolling wheel make traces. What makes those traces have symmetry?

This practical problem challenges you to make quadrilaterals with a loop of string. You'll need some friends to help!

Weekly Problem 28 - 2013
Two lines meet at a point. Another line through this point is reflected in both of these lines. What is the angle between the image lines?

Join some regular octahedra, face touching face and one vertex of each meeting at a point. How many octahedra can you fit around this point?

Plot the graph of x^y = y^x in the first quadrant and explain its properties.
