Symmetry in Letters and Shapes

This video tutorial for fourth-grade students covers homework on lines of symmetry. It begins with an introduction to the topic, followed by a detailed analysis of problems involving identifying and creating lines of symmetry in shapes and words. The teacher provides step-by-step instructions for completing a symmetrical design and discusses the symmetry of words like 'Ohio'. The video concludes with a review of the homework problems and an invitation for students to ask questions.
