  4. Making a strip pattern or wallpaper design requires a series of “draw & move” steps. • You draw a basic design element. Then, you slide your pencil to a new position and repeat the element. • You slide in the same way to a new position and repeat the element again, and so on. • The slide movements from one position to the next are called… Translations.

  5. A design has translation symmetry if you can slide the whole design to a position in which it looks exactly the same as it did in its original position. • To describe translation symmetry, you need to specify the distance and direction of the translation. • An arrow can show the slide. Translation Symmetry

  6. Down 3 Right 4 Move each point of the triangle down 3 and right 4. Slide the figure to the new location indicated by the arrow.

  7. How far will you move the pentagon? Up 1, Right 5 Move each point of the pentagon 1 space up and 5 space right. Slide the figure to the new location indicated by the arrow.

  8. Down 3 Coordinates of new location: (-5, -1), (-4, 2), (-1, -1), & (0, 2). Left 6 Move the figure down 3 and left 6. Name the coordinates of the new location.
