An irregular shape, like a star or a random polygon, is often not symmetrical.

Front

Can a shape have more than one line of symmetry?

Back

Yes, many shapes can have multiple lines of symmetry, like squares and circles.

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