    Uploaded by

    Crysali Therese Dayaganon
    This document discusses various types of patterns and symmetries found in nature. It describes reflection symmetry, radial symmetry, translation symmetry, and glide-reflection symmetry. It also discusses fractals, spirals, and examples of patterns in honeycombs, zebra stripes, spider webs, nautilus shells, tree rings, and turtle scutes. These natural patterns demonstrate mathematical regularities and symmetries.

    Patterns

    and
    Regularities
    Symmetry
     A sense of harmonious and beautiful proportion of balance or
    an object is invariant to any of the various transformations

    Reflection/Bilateral Symmetry
    -It occurs when a line is drawn to
    divide a shape in halves so that each
    half is a reflection of the other.

    Radial Symmetry
    -The condition of having similar
    parts regularly arranged around
    a central axis.
    Symmetry
     A sense of harmonious and beautiful proportion of balance or
    an object is invariant to any of the various transformations

    Translation Symmetry
    -The results from moving a figure a
    certain distance in a certain direction also
    called translating (moving) by a vector
    (length and direction)
    Glide-Reflection Symmetry
    -The symmetry that a figure has if it can
    be made to fit exactly onto the original
    when it is translated a given distance at a
    given direction and then reflected over a
    line
    Fractals
    - Is curve or geometric figure, each part of which has
    the same statistical character as the whole
    - One of the newest and most exciting branches of
    mathematics
    - Is a class of highly irregular shapes that are related
    to continents, coastlines, and snowflakes

    - It is useful in modeling structures in which similar


    patterns recur at progressively smaller scales, and
    in describing partly random or chaotic
    phenomenon such as crystal growth, fluid
    turbulence, and galaxy formation
    Spirals
    - A logarithmic spirals (or growth spiral) is a self-
    similar spiral curve which often appears in nature.
    - It was first described by Rene Descartes and was
    later investigated by Jacob Bernoulli.
    Behavior of
    Nature
    Honeycomb
    Honeycombs of bees show specific
    regular repeating hexagons.

    The design is highly efficient, it uses the


    least amount of wax to store the honey
    giving a strong structure with no gaps.
    Zebra Stripes
    In a zebra’s coat, the alternating
    pattern of blacks and white are due to
    mathematical rules that govern the
    pigmentation chemicals of the skin.
    Spider Web
    Spider webs illustrate a beautiful
    pattern.

    The spider creates a structure by


    performing innate steps.
    Nautilus Shell
    The nautilus shell has natural pattern
    which contains a spiral shape called
    logarithmic spiral.
    Rings of Trees
    Age of trees can be determined by
    applying dendrochronology which is a
    scientific method of dating based on
    the amount of rings found in the core
    of a tree.
    Turtle
    The age of turtle can be estimated
    based from its scutes.

    The smaller number of scutes is in the


    center and is the oldest one.
