Hello, I'm Mr Firth, and together we're going to learn about lines of symmetry. Symmetry is when one side of a shape looks exactly like the other—just flipped. Lots of buildings use symmetry because ...

We are fond of saying things are symmetric, but what does that really mean? Intuitively we have a sense of symmetry as a kind of mirroring. Suppose we draw a vertical line through the middle of a ...

Big Idea – We can describe, measure, and compare spatial relationships. to build on students' knowledge of line symmetry and develop students' reasoning with properties of symmetry to develop an ...

Reflect the shape in the line \(x = -1\). The line \(x = -1\) is a vertical line which passes through -1 on the \(x\)-axis. The line \(y = 1\) is a horizontal line which passes through 1 on the ...

In general usage, symmetry most often refers to mirror or reflective symmetry; that is, a line (in 2-D) or plane (in 3-D) can be drawn through an object such that the two halves are mirror images of ...
