Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can use folding to investigate lines of symmetry in different 2D shapes.

Show transcript
When you fold a shape on a line of symmetry, the two halves will match exactly. A line of symmetry is not always horizontal or vertical. Some quadrilaterals, such as a parallelogram, have no lines of symmetry. Others, such as a kite, have one line of symmetry. Others, such as a rectangle, can have more than one line of symmetry.
