Translational Symmetry

Translational Symmetry

Look at the following figures:

Here a particular pattern or design is continued throughout. The pattern changes its place without rotation or reflection. The exact image is found without changing its orientation.

Thus, translation symmetry occurs when a pattern slides to a new position. The sliding movement involves neither rotation nor reflection.

Example 14

Which pattern is translated in the given kolams?

Solution

Example 15

Step – 1

Open the Browser by typing the URL Link given below (or) Scan the QR Code. GeoGebra work sheet named “Symmetry” will open. There are two worksheets under the title “Line of Symmetry” and “Rotational Symmetry”.

In the Line of Symmetry drag the points on left side of both the gures and click reflect to see full figure

Step − 2

In Rotational Symmetry click on New Shape and find the order of rotational symmetry.
