While there are examples of objects that exhibit more than one type of symmetry (for example a six-pointed star exhibits six lines of reflection and a point of 6-fold rotation), there are some ...

Fun activities like drawing symmetrical pictures or folding paper can make learning ... point for kids learning about ...

That’s why a line of symmetry is sometimes called the mirror line. Sometimes you can fold a shape in half, and if it fits into itself perfectly with no overlaps you have found a line of symmetry.

YOU might remember learning about symmetry at school. Maybe a teacher showed you a snowflake’s six-fold symmetry and you marvelled at how it looked the same no matter how you rotated it.

Ordered solids often display a so-called 6-fold rotation symmetry. To achieve this kind of symmetry, the atoms in a plane surround themselves with six neighbours ...
