+== TurtleArt/Tutorials/Groups of Symmetries ==
-The idea of symmetry is one of the most powerful and beautiful in mathematics, science, and art, and it is also one of the most accessible to young children, even before they can talk, much less read. Block sorting toys with differently shaped blocks and holes to put them through are a huge favorite among toddlers, who soon grasp that blocks can go into holes in different ways. Unfortunately, the toys leave the matter there. But we don't have to.

-Yes, you are allowed to flip it over.
+Exactly the same options occur for the block and the hole. Why?
-{{stub}}
+I take a rather expansive view, separating the question of what we may define (anything you like, as long as it is interesting) from what exists (mathematical existence being an entirely different question from physical existence). My son refuses to discuss vast infinities of mathematical objects that go beyond our finite power of naming or describing them. It is not that one of us is right and the other wrong. Both of our views permit exactly the same sets of theories and proofs, as do many other philosophical choices. It is a matter of taste, in part. It is a question of what is fun, or what is useful for some other purpose.
