Topics in Does it look the same?

1

Mirror Symmetry (Line of Symmetry)

  • A line of symmetry divides a shape into two equal halves that are mirror images of each other.
  • When you fold a shape along its line of symmetry, one half fits exactly over the other half.
  • The two halves created by the line of symmetry are called mirror halves.
2

Half a Turn (Rotational Symmetry of Order 2)

  • A half turn means rotating a shape by 180 degrees around its centre point.
  • Some shapes look exactly the same after a half turn — they have rotational symmetry of order 2.
  • To check: trace the outline of the shape, place the shape on its tracing, and give it a half turn — if it fits, it has half-turn symmetry.
3

Quarter Turn (Rotational Symmetry of Order 4)

  • A quarter turn means rotating a shape by 90 degrees (one-fourth of 360 degrees).
  • A shape that looks the same after a quarter turn also looks the same after a half turn and a three-quarter turn.
  • If a shape looks the same after a quarter turn, it has rotational symmetry of order 4.
4

One-Third Turn and One-Sixth Turn

  • A one-third turn means rotating a shape by 120 degrees (one-third of 360 degrees).
  • A shape that looks the same after a one-third turn has 3 equal, evenly-spaced identical parts.
  • A 3-bladed fan looks the same after a one-third turn.
