  1. Symmetry and Music: The relationship between music and geometrical transformations By Alyssa Zerby

  2. examples of various songs • “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” • “Row Row Row Your Boat” • “When the HAWKS Go Marching In” • “Happy Birthday”

  3. Different kinds of Symmetry • Auditory • Musical forms • Visual • Structure of notes or words • Represented in graphs/sketches of functions

  4. Geometrical Transformations • Translation/Slide • Repeat • Transposition • Reflection/Flip • Glide Reflection • Rotation

  5. Goals and Objectives • To introduce a new connection between mathematics and music: the song and geometry • For students to be able to identify (and understand) certain geometrical ideas in music

  6. Assessment Strategies • Think of a new example of a song with some type of symmetry and/or geometrical transformation • Create own melody using symmetry and geometric tranformations

  7. Lesson and Feedback • Use more audio and visual examples • Possible use of a music lab (activity involving pianos) • Creative and authentic assessments • Inability to read music did not affect the lesson
