SIMILARITIES
FINDING AND TRACING PATTERNS
Circle any figure that contains the pattern on the left. The
pattern must be in the same position but may have extra lines.
Trace over the matching pattern to make sure you are right.

Examine the figures below. Decide how the first figure has
been rotated or reflected to make the second one. Mark the
directions on the right to explain the change. Mark the axis V for
vertical, H for horizontal, or D for diagonal.
