This resource focuses on exploring symmetry in two-dimensional shapes and patterns. It aims to help students identify reflective symmetry and calculate the order of rotational symmetry. Students will learn key concepts such as 'reflective symmetry', which describes when a shape can be mirrored across a line, and 'rotational symmetry', defined as how many times a shape matches its original position when rotated less than 360 degrees. With real-world examples, practice problems, and guided activities, students will engage in concrete, visual, and abstract understanding of symmetry, enhancing their ability to identify and explain symmetrical properties in various contexts. The resource includes vocabulary definitions, practice scenarios, and challenges to apply learned concepts in both familiar shapes and original creations.
