What is a line of symmetry?

Back

A line of symmetry is an imaginary line that divides a shape into two identical parts that are mirror images of each other.

Front

Can a shape have more than one line of symmetry?

Back

Yes, some shapes can have multiple lines of symmetry, like a square which has four lines of symmetry.

Front

What is an example of a shape with no lines of symmetry?

Back

An example of a shape with no lines of symmetry is a scalene triangle.

Front

Is a circle symmetrical?

Back

Yes, a circle has an infinite number of lines of symmetry.

Front

What does it mean if a shape is asymmetrical?

Back

A shape is asymmetrical if it does not have any lines of symmetry.

Front

How can you find a line of symmetry in a shape?

Back

You can find a line of symmetry by folding the shape along a line and checking if both halves match.

Front

What is rotational symmetry?

Back

Rotational symmetry is when a shape can be rotated around a center point and still look the same at certain angles.

Front

Can a shape be symmetrical in one way and not in another?

Back

Yes, a shape can have lines of symmetry but not have rotational symmetry.

Front

What is an example of a shape with one line of symmetry?

Back

A rectangle has one line of symmetry.
