Exploring Symmetry in Math with Mrs. Bliss

The video tutorial introduces the concept of symmetry, explaining that it involves having identical parts on both sides of a line. The instructor demonstrates lines of symmetry using various shapes, such as ovals, squares, and hexagons, and discusses how some shapes, like puzzle pieces, are not symmetric. The video also explores the application of symmetry in art, with an art teacher explaining how symmetry and asymmetry can be used to create balanced and interesting artwork. The tutorial concludes with a challenge for viewers to find objects with different lines of symmetry in their homes.

What does symmetry mean in the context of shapes?

• Having the same color on both sides

• Being the same size on both sides

• Being exactly the same on both sides

• Having different textures on each side
