Page 2: Practical Applications and Assessment

This page focuses on practical applications through exam-style questions, testing understanding of symmetry in letters and regular polygons.

Example: The examination of symmetry in uppercase letters: F has no lines of symmetry, A has one line of symmetry, and H has two lines of symmetry.

Highlight: A regular hexagon demonstrates multiple lines of symmetry, specifically six lines.

Definition: A line of symmetry is a line that divides a shape into two identical halves that match exactly when folded.

Page 3: Rotational Symmetry Concepts

This page introduces and explains rotational symmetry through various practical examples and geometric shapes.

Definition: Rotational symmetry occurs when an object can be rotated by a certain amount and still appear the same as its starting position.

Example: A playing card demonstrates rotational symmetry of order 2, meaning it looks the same twice during a complete 360° rotation.

Vocabulary: Order of rotational symmetry - the number of times a shape looks exactly the same during one complete 360° rotation.

Page 4: Advanced Applications and Assessment

This page consolidates learning through practical examples and assessment questions focusing on both line and rotational symmetry.

Example: Road signs are analyzed for both line symmetry and rotational symmetry properties.

Highlight: The relationship between geometric shapes and their symmetrical properties is explored through a comprehensive table.

Definition: Order of rotational symmetry refers to the number of times a shape appears identical during one complete rotation.

Page 1: Line Symmetry Fundamentals

This page introduces the fundamental concepts of line symmetry through common shapes. The content systematically progresses from simple to more complex geometric figures.

Definition: Line symmetry occurs when a shape can be folded along a line and both halves match perfectly.

Example: A heart shape demonstrates one line of symmetry, while a square exhibits four lines of symmetry.

Highlight: Regular shapes have the same number of lines of symmetry as they have sides, exemplified by a square with four sides and four lines of symmetry.

Vocabulary: Isosceles triangle - a triangle with two equal sides, having one line of symmetry.
