Is the shape symmetrical?
How can you tell if the two-dimensional shape symmetrical?
Do the shapes have line symmetry?
Look at each shape and determine if the line divides it symmetrically. If it is already symmetrical, you don't have to move it. If it's not, move the line into the correct position so that it is symmetrical.
To move the line of symmetry:
- Use your mouse to click the arrow at the top, left corner
- Next, click the word "move" and place your arrow (browser) on:
- the center of the line of symmetry
OR
- on the endpoint of the line of symmetry
- Click the mouse (and hold it) while gently moving the line of symmetry or endpoint into your desired position.
* Some of these shapes have more than one line of symmetry. Can you find them?
