Symmetry and properties of shapes

Identify lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry; classify 2D and 3D shapes

What you'll learn

  1. 1

    Imagine folding a piece of paper in half. The fold line is a line of symmetry — both sides match perfectly!

  2. 2

    How many lines of symmetry does this butterfly have? 🦋

  3. 3

    Here is a square. It has 4 lines of symmetry — fold it along any of them and it matches.

  4. 4

    Let's check if this rectangle has a line of symmetry.

  5. 5

    Drag the line to find a line of symmetry on this shape.

  6. 6

    Which of these shapes has NO line of symmetry?

  7. 7

    How many lines of symmetry does a regular hexagon have?
