    The document discusses patterns and numbers found in nature. It describes different types of symmetry seen in objects like flowers, animals and geometric shapes. These include bilateral symmetry, rotational symmetry and n-fold symmetry. Examples of patterns in nature include stripes on cats and tigers, spiral shells, honeycomb structures and symmetrical flower petals. The document also defines different types of rigid motions like reflection, rotation, translation and glide reflection.

    PATTERNS AND NUMBERS IN NATURE 15


    AND THE WORLD
    • Patterns are regular and repeated form or
    design.
    • They also indicate a sense of structure and
    organization found in human beings and in
    nature itself.

    PATTERNS AND NUMBERS IN NATURE 23
    AND THE WORLD
    • One of the most significant in a pattern is
    the presence of symmetry.
    • A symmetry of an object is a rigid motion that
    moves the object back onto itself.
    PATTERNS AND NUMBERS IN NATURE 24
    AND THE WORLD
    • Symmetry that occurs when you draw an
    imaginary line across an object and the
    resulting parts are mirror images of each
    other is known as line or bilateral
    symmetry.
    • This is evident in most animals, including
    humans.
    PATTERNS AND NUMBERS IN NATURE 25
    AND THE WORLD

    the human face


    dog’s face

    • Da Vinci’s painting of a vitruvian man


    PATTERNS AND NUMBERS IN NATURE 26
    AND THE WORLD
    • Other types of symmetry depend on the number
    of sides or faces that are symmetrical.
    • Three-fold symmetry occurs in the petals of
    flowers when there are three petals that look
    alike.
    PATTERNS AND NUMBERS IN NATURE 27
    AND THE WORLD
    • There is five-fold symmetry found in a
    starfish.
    PATTERNS AND NUMBERS IN NATURE 28
    AND THE WORLD
    • Another symmetry is called rotational
    symmetry.
    • A figure has a rotational symmetry of order
    n (n-fold rotational symmetry) if 1/n of a
    complete turn leaves the figure unchanged.
    • The angle of rotation is determined by the
    0
    formula: Angle of rotation = 360 /n
    PATTERNS AND NUMBERS IN NATURE 29
    AND THE WORLD
    • Example: A starfish which has a five-fold
    symmetry is rotated by 72 degrees, the
    appearance is still the same as it is in
    original position, since, 360/5 = 72.
    • As we look around us, we can recognize patterns in30
    nature as seen in the external appearances of
    animals and flowers.

    Patterns are shown in the Cat’s and Tiger’s stripes.


    PATTERNS AND NUMBERS IN NATURE 31
    AND THE WORLD

    • Spiral patterns are shown • Patterns are shown


    in the shell of a snail . in honeycomb.
    • Patterns are also shown in flower petals. 32
    PATTERNS AND NUMBERS IN NATURE 33
    AND THE WORLD
    • The act of taking an object and moving it from
    some starting position to some ending position
    without altering its shape or size is called a
    rigid motion or also known as isometry.
    • There are four basic rigid motions for two-
    dimensional objects in the plane: reflection,
    rotation, translation and glide reflection.
    PATTERNS AND NUMBERS IN NATURE 34
    AND THE WORLD
    • A reflection in the plane is a rigid motion
    that moves an object into a new position
    that is a mirror image of the starting
    position.
    PATTERNS AND NUMBERS IN NATURE 35
    AND THE WORLD
    • A rotation in the plane is a rigid motion
    that pivots or swings an object around a
    fixed point O or the rotocenter.
    PATTERNS AND NUMBERS IN NATURE 36
    AND THE WORLD
    • A translation consists of essentially
    dragging an object in a specified direction
    and by a specified amount (the length of
    the translation).
    • The direction and length of the translation
    are combined in the form
    of a vector of translation.
    PATTERNS AND NUMBERS IN NATURE 37
    AND THE WORLD
    • A glide reflection is a rigid motion obtained
    by combining a translation (the glide) with a
    reflection.
