Show transcript
A shape is symmetrical when one half is a reflection of the other half. When you fold a shape on a line of symmetry, the two halves will match exactly. You can join two identical shapes together to create a new shape. When you join two identical shapes, sometimes the new shape will be symmetrical. When you join two identical shapes, sometimes the new shape will have no lines of symmetry.
