Symmetry

We're learning about symmetry at the moment. We know that symmetrical shapes have a line of symmetry. This is an imaginary line that divides an object exactly in half and if you could fold the object on this line, each side would match exactly.

For example, these are all symmetrical shapes. The dotted lines are the lines of symmetry.

We used symmetry for our art project this week. After colouring in some shapes, we cut them along the line of symmetry and made a picture.
