Line and Rotational Symmetry

Front

What is line symmetry?

Back

Line symmetry, also known as reflection symmetry, occurs when a shape can be divided into two identical halves that are mirror images of each other along a line.

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

What is a tessellation?

Back

A tessellation is a pattern made of one or more shapes that fit together without any gaps or overlaps.

What is the relationship between line symmetry and rotational symmetry?

Back

Some shapes can have both line symmetry and rotational symmetry, while others may have only one or neither.
