Maori Frieze Patterns
From Prep08Wiki
Objective: Investigate frieze patterns
1. Examine the two Maori Frieze Patterns below. Ignore symmetries based on color.
a) Can you identify any lines of symmetry in the frieze patterns?
b) Are the frieze patterns the same or different?
2. In the images below, decide whether the frieze pattern is the same or different. Ignore symmetries based on color.
Identify lines of symmetry in the patterns.
3. In the images below, decide whether the frieze pattern is the same or different. Identify lines of symmetry in the patterns. Is possible to be both the same and different? Explain your answer.
4. Create two different friezes based on the same symmetry pattern. For instance use the left side of the very last pattern and see if you can create different friezes from that basic bloc.
