Transformationsand Tesselations By: Christine Berg Edited By: VTHamilton
Transformation • Movements of a figure in a plane • May be a SLIDE, FLIP, or TURN
Translation Another name for a SLIDE A A’ C C’ B B’ A’, B’ and C’ are explained in the next slide...
Image The figure you get after a translation A A’ Slide C B C’ B’ Image Original The symbol ‘ is read “prime”. ABC has been moved to A’B’C’. A’B’C’ is the image of ABC.
Writing a Rule Finding the amount of movement LEFT and RIGHT and UP and DOWN
Writing a Rule Right 4 (positive change in x) B Down 3 (negative change in y) B’ C A A’ C’
Writing a Rule Can be written as: • R4, D3 (Right 4, Down 3) • (x+4, y-3)
Reflection Another name for a FLIP A A’ C B B’ C’
Reflection Used to create SYMMETRY on the coordinate plane
Symmetry When one side of a figure is a MIRROR IMAGE of the other
Line of Reflection The line you reflect a figure across Ex: X or Y axis
Rotation Another name for a TURN C’ B’ B A’ C A
Rotation A transformation that turns about a fixed point
Center of Rotation The fixed point C’ B’ B A’ C A (0,0)
Rotational Symmetry When an image after rotation of 180 degrees or less fits exactly on the original
Rotating a Figure Measuring the degrees of rotation C’ B’ B 90 degrees A’ C A
Tessellation A design that covers a plane with NO GAPS and NO OVERLAPS
Tessellation Formed by a combination of TRANSLATIONS, REFLECTIONS, and ROTATIONS
Pure Tessellation A tessellation that uses only ONE shape
Semiregular Tessellation A design that covers a plane using more than one shape
Tessellation Used famously in artwork by M.C. Escher
