2.4 –Symmetry
Line of Symmetry:
A line that folds a shape in half that is a mirror image
1. For each image below, reflect the shape over the line.
2. Determine if the shapes have line symmetry. If it does, draw in all possible lines of symmetry.

two
Rotational Symmetry:
A degree that turns a shape onto itself
360° # matches
Degree =
3. Determine if the shape has rotational symmetry. If it does, find the degree of rotational symmetry.

4. Below are the most common geometric shapes you will be learning throughout geometry. Identify if the shapes have reflection symmetry, rotation symmetry, both, or none. If it has reflection symmetry, state how many lines of symmetry it has. If it has rotation symmetry, state the degree of rotation.
