Intermediate Test Prep Math 8 (Grade 6) Use concrete and artistic activities to explore the concept of symmetry.

A figure that can be folded to make equal parts is a symmetrical figure.

Look at the butterfly below. The line of symmetry shows you where you can fold the butterfly in half to get 2 equal parts.

Remember:

To determine whether or not something is symmetrical, fold it in half. If each side has the same size, shape, and details, then it is symmetrical.
