What makes a shape symmetrical?
A shape is symmetrical if a line could be drawn down the middle of it, and either side would be a perfect reflection of the other. This could be in any direction, and the line is called the ‘line of symmetry’. This is sometimes called the ‘mirror line’ because if you placed a mirror on it, the reflection would complete the whole shape.
Can you find any symmetrical shapes in Maureen Roffey’s doll’s house design?
Do any of the shapes have more than one line of symmetry?
