Now it's your turn to construct a frieze pattern.

Now it's your turn to create your own frieze patterns. Before working through the activity, let's review the different transformations that create frieze patterns.

Rotation A 180° rotation can be used to create a frieze pattern. This transformation is denoted with an R.
Horizontal Reflection A reflection in a horizontal line can be used to create a frieze pattern. This transformation is denoted with an H.
Vertical Reflection A reflection in a vertical line can be used to create a frieze pattern. This transformation is denoted with a V.
Horizontal Glide Reflection This translation combined with a reflection can be used to create a frieze pattern. This combination is denoted with a G.
