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. |
