1
New cards

Mathematical pattern

An object or group of objects that possesses regularity or repetition, whether visual or arithmetic.

2
New cards

Sequence

A pattern made of numbers, characterized by a specific rule or relationship between each term.

3
New cards

Symmetry

The property of an object or design that allows it to be divided into parts that are mirror images of each other.

4
New cards

Tessellation

A pattern of flat shapes that fit together on a surface without any overlaps or gaps.

5
New cards

Fractal

A complex pattern that repeats itself at different scales or levels of magnification.

6
New cards

Geometric pattern

A regular, repeated visual form or design.

7
New cards

Symmetric balance

Balanced proportions or beauty of form arising from balanced proportions in architectural designs.

8
New cards

Geometry

The fundamental science of forms, figures, and transformations in mathematics and architectural design.

9
New cards

Bilateral symmetry

When an object or organism can be divided into mirror image halves along a plane.

10
New cards

Radial symmetry

A type of balance in which the parts of an object or picture are regularly arranged and radiate from a central point.

11
New cards

Meander pattern

A series of regular sinuous curves, bends, loops, turns, or windings in the channel of a river or stream.

12
New cards

Spiral symmetry

A curve formed by a point revolving around a fixed axis at an ever-increasing distance.

13
New cards

Spherical symmetry

The ability to draw an endless or great but finite number of symmetry axes through a body.

14
New cards

Transformation

A change or movement of a geometric shape or motif without changing its shape or size.

15
New cards

Translation

A movement of a shape or motif in a given direction without changing its shape, size, or orientation.

16
New cards

Rotation

A movement of a shape or motif by rotating it around a fixed point (center of rotation) through a specified angle.

17
New cards

Reflection

A movement of a shape or motif by flipping it along a reflection line, creating a mirror image.

18
New cards

Dilation

Resizing a figure by a scale factor about a point, without changing its shape.

19
New cards

Glide reflection

A product of a reflection and a translation whose direction is parallel to the line of reflection.

20
New cards

Symmetric patterns

Designs or patterns that have at least one non-trivial
