Due March 27.
The whole class will be divided into 8 groups. Each group
consists 4 students. Each students will write the report for
part 1 and draw a design for part 2.
Part 1. Explain the 'most' of rigid motions are
either rotations or glide reflections.
Suppose a rigid motion is a rotation, find geometrically the center
of the rotation.
Suppose a rigid motion is a glide reflection, find the line of the
reflection.
Part 2. Draw a Escher Design as in page 799.
The only condition is that there are no straight line segment in your
pattern.
You can any titling:like Page 796, 797,803 and 809.
The grade here will based on accuracy and artistry.
You design shouldn't be exactly the same as those in the textbook.
