    Transformations and Symmetry

    I have just completed about a dozen pages on [url=http://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/transformations.html]Transformations[/url] (Translation, Rotation, Reflection and Resizing), and [url=http://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/symmetry.html]Symmetry[/url].

    In the process I created some interactive Flash applications that may help teach the ideas. And one really cute one I have called "[url=http://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/symmetry-artist.html]Symmetry Artist[/url]"

    As these are all brand new, I would value any comments or corrections.

    Wow, and thanks!

    I hope other members post their artwork, that was fun to look at.

    (Make Money? ... I am happy to cover costs! ... Maybe I should sell pixels.)

    I have made another one to entertain and educate, called [url=http://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/tessellation-artist.html]Tessellation Artist[/url]

    You can use it to just have fun "drawing in multiple", but you can do serious tilings by using the polygon tool and getting angles and spacings correct.

    It is brand new, and all suggestions are welcome.

    Excellent site! I needed a painless way to explain rotations and transformations to students with widely varying math backgrounds, and not much patience. You hit the nail on the head! Thanks.
