Reflective Symmetry Reflection symmetry is where one half of the image is the reflection

Reflective Symmetry Reflection symmetry is where one half of the image is the reflection of the other half. You could fold the image and have both halves match exactly.

Reflective Symmetry Reflection symmetry can be in different orientations.

Divide a piece of paper in half with a line and pretend the two

Divide a piece of paper in half with a line and pretend the two halves are butterfly wings. Make a symmetrical pattern with a partner. One person draws a 2 D shape on one wing and the other person draws the same shape in the correct position on the other wing. Take turns to draw on each wing. Click on the butterfly to generate a 2 D shape to use in your design.
