Unit focus

  • Line symmetry occurs when reflection across an axis maps a figure onto itself. Rotational symmetry occurs when a turn less than 360° maps the figure onto itself; rotational order counts matching positions in one full turn.
  • Use this routine: Identify possible transformation → Test reflection/rotation → Check exact match → Count axes/order → Create and verify.
  • Watch for near match accepted: Symmetry requires exact correspondence.
