The Hexafelxagon project was a great way to put our new knowledge of rotational symmetry and line-reflection symmetry to use. Each diamond or triangle has a similar design on it, and when put together creates a cool picture. I used line-reflection in my hexafelxagon on the circle design. The top half of the triangle has half a circle that is reflected over the fold creating another half circle in the bottom triangle, thus creating a full circle when combined. The purple triangle and grey lines is reflected over the fold creating a full purple diamond and several lines. Each of the four designs use line-reflection symmetry over the fold creating a full diamond. I used rotational symmetry on the 3 identical panels. If you took one purple diamond panel and rotated it ___ degrees you would have the second panels and rotated it __ degree you would have the third panel.
My favorite part of my hexaflexagon are the rainbow triangles because when they are all put together it makes a big circular rainbow. This design was the hardest and took me a long time to complete. If I would do this project again, I would make the rainbow triangles congruent and placed correctly so the line symmetry from panel to panel would be perfect. My line symmetry doesn't line up completely correctly. This project taught me I am very much of a perfectionist when it comes to art work and takes me a long time to do it correctly and careful work pays off in the final product.
