  1. Symmetry

  2. Lines of Symmetry A line that divides a figure, shape or object in half so that each side is equal. Examples of line of symmetry Not lines of symmetry

  3. Draw a line of symmetry through the pictures below. Remember that some objects do not have a line symmetry.

  4. True or False? A line of symmetry is a line that divides a shape or object in half so that each half is not equal. An object or shape can have many lines of symmetry.

  5. Sometimes, an object or shape can have many lines of symmetry! Think of symmetry as a mirror reflection. The line is reflecting equal parts! Circles have infinite lines of symmetry A square has many lines of symmetry How many lines of symmetry does this shape have?

  6. Can you draw the reflection of the shape?
