Check understanding

  • Find all lines of symmetry in a rectangle, square, and equilateral triangle
  • Determine whether a given shape has a line of symmetry when rotated
  • Identify which shapes in a set have exactly one line of symmetry
  • Determine how many lines of symmetry a regular hexagon has
  • Draw all lines of symmetry for a given figure
  • Identify which figures from a set are not line-symmetric
“If your child is given a picture of a butterfly or a star shape, can they draw the line (or lines) where you could fold it exactly in half so both sides match?”
