Symmetry for Smarties!

Sometimes you can learn from other bloggers! Today we watched a quiz about symmetry from 
The Smarties in Australia!

We got 100% on their quiz! Thank you Smarties!

Today we found objects with symmetry in our own room!

We took the Smarties Symmetry quiz!



A line of symmetry divides a figure into 2 congruent parts.

Congruent means:

  • same shape
  • same size
Check out our examples!
