I. TRUE OR FALSE
DIRECTIONS: Analyze each statement. Write whether the statement is TRUE
or FALSE . (10 points)

_____1. Spirals are geometric patterns that often expand outward from a central point.
_____ 2. Spots in patterns are irregularly spaced and can vary in shape and size.
______3. Stripes are linear patterns characterized by parallel lines of uniform width.
_____4. Rotational symmetry implies that an object can be rotated by some degree and still maintain
its original appearance.
_____5. Transformational symmetry allows patterns to be transformed by resizing, translating, or
rotating while preserving their overall structure.
_____6. Reflectional symmetry occurs when an object can be divided into two equal halves that are
mirror images of each other.
_____7. The arrangement of stars in constellations often follows a pattern with spots.
_____8. Stripes can be found in nature on animals like zebras and tigers.
