Write two headings for the table.Geometry and problem solving
Symmetrical means
that something is the
same on two or more
sides.
A line of symmetry
shows that the shape or
picture is symmetrical.
Fold the shape down
the line of symmetry. mneofisy med oa
The shape is the same
on both sides.

1 Copy the shapes.
Then draw a line of symmetry. All rectangles
have a line of
symmetry.
2 Copy the table. Draw four shapes in
each box.
