Reflection SYMMETRY

NATURAL

Reflection is An object has


reflection symmetry if there
exists a line that the object can be flipped (reflected) over such that it looks exactly
the same before and after the flip. The line that the object flips across is called
the axis of symmetry (plural: axes of symmetry).

MAN MADE
ROTATIONAL SYMMETRY

MATURAL

Rotational symmetry: An
object has rotational symmetry if it looks unchanged after being turned (rotated) by
some specific amount less than a full 360-degree spin. The center-point of the spin
is called the point of symmetry of the rotation.

MAN MADE
Translational symmetry:

NATURAL

Translational symmetry is
when a pattern looks the same before and after it has been moved ("translated") a
particular distance in a specified direction. Patterns with translational symmetries
look like they were created by someone with a stamp, moving in a straight line
across a surface and stamping at regular intervals as they move

MAN MADE
Helical Symmetry

NATURAL

Helical symmetry is the kind of


symmetry seen in such everyday objects as springs, Slinky toys, drill bits,
and augers. The concept of helical symmetry can be visualized as the tracing in
three-dimensional space that results from rotating an object at a constant angular
speed while simultaneously translating at a constant linear speed along its axis of
rotation.

MAN MADE
Scale Symmetry

NATURE

Scale symmetry means that if an object is expanded or reduced in size, the new object has
the same properties as the original.
