Front

What is symmetry?

Back

Symmetry is when one shape becomes exactly like another if you flip, slide, or turn it.

Front

What is a line of symmetry?

Back

A line of symmetry is an imaginary line that divides a shape into two identical parts.

Front

Can a shape have more than one line of symmetry?

Back

Yes, some shapes can have multiple lines of symmetry.

Front

Give an example of a shape with a line of symmetry.

Back

A square has four lines of symmetry.

Front

Does a circle have a line of symmetry?

Back

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

Front

What happens if you fold a shape along its line of symmetry?

Back

The two halves will match perfectly.

Front

Is a rectangle symmetrical?

Back

Yes, a rectangle has two lines of symmetry.

Front

What is rotational symmetry?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

It can be rotated by a certain angle, such as 90 degrees, 180 degrees, etc., depending on the shape.

Front

Can a shape be asymmetrical?

Back

Yes, a shape that does not have any lines of symmetry is called asymmetrical.
