The first three letters of your name
• Can you fold the letters in a way that the top half exactly covers the bottom half?
• If you can draw a line !

Symmetry
What is Symmetry?
• If a shape can be folded in half so that one half fits exactly on top of the other, than we say that the shape has got line symmetry.
• The fold is called a line of symmetry, it divides the shape into two equal parts!
• The lines of symmetry may be vertical, horizontal or diagonal

Symmetry in Real Life
• God made many things in nature symmetrical!
• Humans like to follow God’s footsteps when making objects because in this way things look nicer !
How many ?
• An object may have
One line of Symmetry
Many lines of Symmetry
No lines of Symmetry
A circle ?

Another kind of symmetry?
What do you think we call this kind of symmetry?
TOP Centre of rotation
Rotational Symmetry !
We say a shape has ROTATIONAL SYMMETRY if it fits exactly into itself (looks exactly THE SAME)
when it is rotated.
How many times does this shape fit into itself?
TOP
We say it has rotational symmetry of order 4
A shape may have NO Rotational Symmetry
A shape is said to haveNO Rotational Symmetry (Rotational Symmetry of ORDER 1)
If it fits onto itself only ONE TIME

Regular PolygonsWhat did we say a Regular Polygon is?
A regular polygon is a shape which has:• All sides equal
• All angles equal
Examples ?
What did we say about lines of symmetry of regular polygons?
Regular polygons have lines of symmetry equal to the number of sides/angles that they possess.
What then can we conclude?
Regular polygons have order of rotational symmetry equal to the number of sides/angles that they have.
