Symmetrical task

Everyone in the class was so
focused on their task. 
This week in maths, we have worked on Geometry. 

It is an equilateral triangle, how many lines of
symmetry could it have??
We first learned about the properties of the polygons then learned about their angles.

Towards the end of the week, we have investigated lines of symmetry in a regular polygon.

We have come up with the result that : if you have a regular quadrilateral you will have four sides  as well as have four lines of symmetry.  Although, if you have an irregular polygon you won't have the same amount of sides and lines of symmetry because if you have a trapezium you have four sides, but only one line of symmetry.

In order to practice identifying lines of symmetry, we went in the ICT suite to play a game where we had to identify the lines of symmetry in order to unlock a safe. Afterwards, we have to complete shapes. It was really fun, if you click on the word game you will be able to access it.


Hope you go and play this game, it is very cool.
