Transformations lesson: Introduction to symmetry practice problems

1. Find the symmetry in each shape.  Draw in the symmetry lines where there is line symmetry, and tell what kind of rotational symmetry if there is rotational symmetry (use the fraction of a turn description for rotational symmetry).

2. Which kind of symmetry do children learn first?

3. If a shape has 1/4 turn symmetry, what order of rotational symmetry does it have? What angle of rotational symmetry does it have?
