Exploring Lines of Symmetry in 4th Grade Math

What defines a line of symmetry in a shape?

• A line that divides a shape into two identical parts

• A line that connects opposite corners of a shape

• A line that outlines the shape

• A line that divides a shape into two different parts

Can a shape have more than one line of symmetry?

• Yes, depending on the shape

• No, lines of symmetry are not found in geometric shapes

• No, only one line of symmetry is possible

• Yes, but only in circles

What is the result of folding a shape along its line of symmetry?

• Two different halves

• A smaller version of the shape

• Two matching halves

• The shape disappears

Can a shape with no equal sides have a line of symmetry?

• No, symmetry requires equal sides

• Yes, if it's a circle

• No, all sides must be equal

• Yes, but only diagonally

How many lines of symmetry does a square have?

• 2

• 4

• 1

• 3

When folding a square along a diagonal, do the halves match perfectly?

• Yes, they match perfectly

• Yes, but only in certain squares

• No, because squares cannot be folded diagonally

• No, they do not match

How many lines of symmetry are there in a rectangle?

• 2

• 1

• 4

• 0

Does folding a rectangle diagonally create congruent halves?

• No, because rectangles cannot be folded

• Yes, always

• No, it creates two triangles

• Yes, but only in squares

Why can't a rectangle be folded diagonally to form a line of symmetry?

• Because it forms two different triangles

• Because rectangles don't have diagonals

• Because it doesn't divide the rectangle into halves

• Because the halves do not match perfectly

What makes a square different from a rectangle in terms of symmetry?

• Rectangles cannot have lines of symmetry

• Squares have more lines of symmetry

• Squares and rectangles have the same number of symmetry lines

• Rectangles have more lines of symmetry
