As noted above, some deeper investigations into the symmetries of the brick patterns we encounter on our tour are postponed for later work in class. The tour is also the starting point for a number of other investigations into the mathematics of brick patterns, appropriate to various age groups and mathematics content. These include plane symmetry groups, frieze patterns, cultural comparisons, introduction of the concepts of isohedrality and isogonality, and some preliminary analysis of the structural strength of different patterns.
