Symmetry and Transformations: Hands-On Activity

Confirm Reflective Symmetry --- Totally Tessellated @ http://library.advanced.org/16661/
Instructions: Print two copies of page (preferably on lightweight or tracing
paper) and then close this window. Line up the two pages. Then, keeping the bottom
page steady, fold the top page along the dotted line shown below. The bottom page
should be uncovered, and the overall pattern (including the top page which should
be showing through slightly) is a continuation of the tessellation. Thus, the tessellation
has reflective symmetry.
