What is symmetry?

Back

Symmetry is when a shape can be divided into two identical parts that are mirror images of each other.

Back

A scalene triangle has no lines of symmetry.

Front

How can you find lines of symmetry in a shape?

Back

You can fold the shape along a line to see if both halves match perfectly.

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

How many degrees can a shape with rotational symmetry be rotated?

Back

It depends on the shape; for example, a square can be rotated 90 degrees and still look the same.
