Symmetry

  • Symmetry is when a shape can be split into two matching halves
  • If you fold the shape in half both sides will match
  • If a mirror is put in the middle of the shape the reflection in the mirror will be exactly the same
  • Some shapes have one line of symmetry, some several and some none at all
  • Some things in nature are very close to being symmetrical like flowers, leaves, snowflakes, and butterflies
