  1. How many lines of symmetry does a square have?
    • (a) 2
    • (b) 4
    • (c) 6
    • (d) 8
  2. Which capital letter has a vertical line of symmetry?
    • (a) A
    • (b) F
    • (c) G
    • (d) J
  3. What is the order of rotational symmetry of an equilateral triangle?
    • (a) 1
    • (b) 2
    • (c) 3
    • (d) 6

    • (a) 30°
    • (b) 60°
    • (c) 90°
    • (d) 120°
  5. How many lines of symmetry does a circle have?
    • (a) 1
    • (b) 2
    • (c) 4
    • (d) Infinitely many
  6. A mirror stands upright beside a word. Which word looks exactly the same in the mirror?
    • (a) MOM
    • (b) DAD
    • (c) BOB
    • (d) NAN

Answer key: Symmetry

  1. (b) 4 – 2 + 2 = 4 lines of symmetry.
  2. (a) A – So A has a vertical line of symmetry.
  3. (c) 3 – So the order is 3.
  4. (b) 60° – 360° ÷ 6 = 60°.
  5. (d) Infinitely many – So a circle has infinitely many lines of symmetry.
  6. (a) MOM – M and O have vertical symmetry, so only MOM looks the same.
