How does this relate to pentominoes? Explain these terms so that anyone who reads your post understands what you mean. </strong><br /><br />Rotation symmetry is symmetry with respect to rotations, like isometries that preserve orientation. For instance, you can take any point on any shape, and rotate on the point, and it'll still be the same shape, thus preserving the orientation.<br /><br />Reflection symmetry is symmetry with respect to reflection, and is the most common type of symmetry. It consists of a "axis of symmetry" which is an imaginary line that if you put a perpendular, any 2 points on that perpendicular on opposite sides of equal distances from the axis of symmetry are exactly the same.<br /><br />These two terms relate to pentominoes because you can rotate (like in rotational symmetry) and flip (like in refectional symmetry) them.<br /><br /><strong>#2 Create a pattern. You must represent this pattern both pictorially (i.e. with a picture or diagram) and with numbers. You must show the first 4 steps of your pattern.</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8057/2211/1600/micahels%20pattern.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8057/2211/320/micahels%20pattern.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>#3: Describe in words what is occuring with your pattern and if your pattern has an ending or if it continues on indefinately. Make sure that your explanation is clear enough that the person reading your description could understand your pattern without seeing your diagram.</strong><br /><strong></strong><br />In this very crude-made pattern, it starts as a rectangle that consists of two squares, horizontally.<br /><br />Then in the next step, it adds another rectangle made of two squares to the bottom horizontally, making a square made of four smaller squares.<br /><br />In the third step, it does a similar thing by adding another two-square rectangle only it's on the right of the shape, and is vertical, creating a six-square rectangle horizontally, with two rows and three columns.<br /><br />And in the fourth shape it adds yet another two-square recta<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8057/2211/1600/Michael%27s%20tchart.0.jpg"></a>ngle on the bottom this time, horizontally, aligned to the left side of the shape, creating a shape close to that of a square with nine smaller squares, only with a square missing at the bottom-right corner of it.<br /><br />This pattern is able to go on forever and ever, ultimately creating a long upside-down, flipped-horizonally letter L.<br /><br /><strong>#4: </strong><strong>Create a T-Chart that shows what is happening with your pattern. You must show the first 4 steps of your pattern with the T-chart.</strong><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8057/2211/1600/Michael%27s%20tchart.0.jpg"></a><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8057/2211/1600/Michael%27s%20tchart.0.jpg"></a><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8057/2211/1600/Michael%27s%20tchart.0.jpg"></a><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8057/2211/1600/Michael%27s%20tchart.0.jpg"></a><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8057/2211/1600/Michael%27s%20tchart.2.jpg"><strong><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8057/2211/320/Michael%27s%20tchart.2.jpg" border="0" /></strong></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />- michael<br /><br /><br /><u>Week Of Sunday, May 14, 2006 To Saturday, May 21, 2006</u><br /><u></u><br /><br /><strong>Question #1: Solve all</strong> <strong>3 parts of the problem below</strong><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong>Jack collects baseball cards.

Therefore I have no choice but to at least temporarily remove the chatbox from the blogs. If the individuals responsible for the inappropriate comments come forward and discuss this issue with me I will be able to return the chatbox to your blog. <br /><br />Unfortunatly I cannot tolorate comments such as those that had been left in the chatbox. Any further comments such as these in class or on the blog will be sent to the administration and your parents will be contacted. <br /><br />Remember that comments that you leave on a blog now remain on the net in some form forever, therefore what we may percieve as a joke right now, might come back to haunt us in the future. <br /><br />Mr. ReeceMr. Reecehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10256211127811144005noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20383952.post-1142464407450428292006-03-15T17:01:00.000-06:002006-03-15T17:13:27.560-06:00Proper profilesI am requesting that anyone who has any form of personal information in their user profile to remove it immediatly.

The quiz was out of 10. Then we looked at the blogs of various classes, and Mr. Reece's blog. We congratulated Chenda on her amazing scribe notes, and afterwards, Mr Harbeck came and told us about the blog, scribe notes, and the fact that people out of our community, city, and even country looked at our blogs. Negatively, he also said that we're not allowed in his room anymore because some took a mouse's trackballs. Than we looked at new things.

Therefore I am giving you more power over your communication with one another. I have installed a chat box on your blog that will give you the power to not only chat real time with other class members, but links you with the blogs of all grade 7 math classes. <br /><br />So be responsible with this new tool, I trust that no one will abuse it. <br /><br />Happy blogging.<br /><br />Mr. RMr. Reecehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10256211127811144005noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20383952.post-1141009552499881282006-02-26T21:05:00.000-06:002006-02-26T21:05:56.890-06:00Assignment reminderRemember everyone that there is an assignment posted on my blog that is due February 28th.

As there are four seperate classes of grade 7 math, I have decided that all four classes should have their own unique look and feel to the blog. <br /><br />So while everything has a new look to it here at 7-42, you should quickly be able to adapt to your posh new surroundings.<br /><br /><br />Have fun blogging everyone!<br /><br />Mr. RMr. Reecehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10256211127811144005noreply@blogger.com0
