SYMMETRY Symmetry is an exact matching of two parts along a fold line. How to find symmetry: • A shape that can be folded to make equal parts is a symmetrical figure. • Symmetrical patterns are the same size and shape on both sides. • You can find a line of symmetry where the object can be folded to get equal parts. • Figures can have more than one line of symmetry. • A butterfly is symmetrical.
