Demonstrate an understanding of line symmetry by:
- identifying symmetrical 2-D shapes
- creating symmetrical 2-D shapes
- drawing one or more lines of symmetry in a 2-D shape.
[C, CN, V]
| (a) |

Complete a symmetrical 2-D shape given half the shape and its line of symmetry. |
| (d) |
Explain how symmetry and fractions are related. |
| (e) |
Identify lines of symmetry in a set of 2-D shapes and explain why each shape is symmetrical. |
| (f) |
