Learning Objective

I can identify and apply lines of symmetry in geometric figures.

  • 1

    Line symmetry is also known as reflection symmetry or mirror symmetry.

  • 2

    Rotational symmetry means that a shape can be rotated a certain amount and match the unrotated shape.

  • 3

    The order of rotation is how many times the shape matches in a complete rotation, and the angle of rotation is the smallest angle needed to rotate a shape for it to match the starting shape.
