Exploring Lines of Symmetry in Grade 4 Mathematics

The video tutorial introduces the concept of symmetrical shapes, starting with a circle and explaining how it can be folded to show symmetry. It then explores other symmetrical shapes like squares, triangles, stars, rectangles, trapezoids, and rhombuses, discussing their lines of symmetry. The tutorial highlights that a rectangle has two lines of symmetry, a square has four, a trapezoid has one, and a circle has infinite lines of symmetry. The video aims to help viewers understand and identify lines of symmetry in various shapes.
