Symmetry - Line, Point, Rotational

Front

A figure has _______ symmetry when a line (or lines) divide the shape into two equal parts.

Back

Line symmetry is when a figure can be divided into two identical halves by a line.

Front

How many lines of symmetry does the flower have? 2, 3, 6, 9.

Back

Front

What is line symmetry?

Back

Line symmetry occurs when a shape can be divided into two mirror-image halves.

Front

What is point symmetry?

Back

Point symmetry means that for every point in the shape, there is another point at an equal distance from a central point, but in the opposite direction.

Front

What is rotational symmetry?

Back

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

Front

Give an example of a shape with line symmetry.

Back

A square has line symmetry; it can be divided into equal halves by multiple lines.
