What to Focus On
- Symmetry means repeated parts in a definite pattern.
- A figure with repeated parts is symmetrical.
- Some figures are not symmetrical because they do not show a repeating pattern.
- A line of symmetry makes two mirror halves.
- The two halves overlap exactly when folded.
- A figure with a line of symmetry has reflection symmetry.
- Reflection moves matching parts to opposite sides of a symmetry line.
- In a square, points on one side swap with matching points on the other side.
- A figure with a line or lines of symmetry has reflection symmetry.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
If a figure looks balanced, it must have a line of symmetry.
Every figure with 360° symmetry has rotational symmetry.
Line symmetry and rotational symmetry mean the same thing.
