Learners construct frieze patterns using translations and rotations. They will discuss how frieze patterns are similar to jigsaw puzzles and use Cabri Jr. to build a triangle frieze pattern using rotations, translations, and reflections.

Students will explore frieze patterns. A frieze pattern is a mathematical concept to classify designs on two-dimensional surfaces, which are repetitive in one direction, based on the symmetries in the pattern. They will explore examples...

In this frieze pattern worksheet, students draw frieze patterns that can be constructed from a given motif. They perform translations, glide reflections, horizontal and vertical reflections and 180 degree rotations. This one-page...

Students investigate geometry with the use of a creative project. They review relevant vocabulary that includes turn, flip, side, and angles. Students also practice conducting transformations used as inspiration for the project. Then...

Learners describe Frieze designs using the work of indigenous people.  In this math lesson, students create 7 frieze designs using different patterns.  They create one row of repeated art and repeat this 7 times over...

For this symmetry worksheet, students view and draw border patterns and answer short answer questions about it. Students complete 3 activities.

Students analyze different polygons by shapes and sides. For this geometry lesson, students differentiate between similar and congruent polygons. They name the different polygons based on the number of sides.

Archeologists, when classifying artifacts, often take note of the physical properties or attributes of artifacts, such as the materials from which the artifacts are made, and their size, shape, function, and decoration. Friezes are often...

Provides a listing of books that are useful in research on this topic.

This presentation provides a tutorial on symmetry. In the tutorial, you will do the following: learn about geometric symmetry, explore line or reflection symmetry, explore rotation symmetry, and explore translation symmetry and frieze...
