Line of Symmetry

Teaching Mathematics involves more than simply teaching addition, subtraction,

multiplication and division. The study of Symmetry and its properties instills an awareness in
students that Mathematics is truly used throughout their lives.
Children learn concepts about geometric shapes at a very early age. They learn first about a
shape as a whole but, with the help of symmetry, then learn how to focus on the
characteristics and parts of an object.
