LINE SYMMETRY A line symmetry occurs in a shape if, when the shape is

LINE SYMMETRY A line symmetry occurs in a shape if, when the shape is folded over the line the two pieces either side of the line, are exactly the same.

Rotational Symmetry If, when you rotate a shape, it looks exactly the same as

Rotational Symmetry If, when you rotate a shape, it looks exactly the same as it did in its original position, then we say that the shape has rotational symmetry. A square • It looks exactly the same four times in a full turn. • It has rotational symmetry order 4.

Rotational Symmetry 1. Draw this shape into your jotter. 2. Use the tracing paper

Rotational Symmetry 1. Draw this shape into your jotter. 2. Use the tracing paper to make a copy of this shape. 3. Turn the tracing paper through 180 degrees about the dot. The new shape has HALF - TURN symmetry (order 2) The dot is called the centre of symmetry
