Objectives

After completing this curriculum unit on symmetry, students should be able to do several things. They should understand the important properties of symmetry, as I have explained them here. They should be able to recognize and describe symmetries of figures, and make their own figures with specified symmetries. Students will do symmetry transformations of figures, and they will be able to write coordinate rules for specifying the image of a general point (x, y) under particular transformations.
