How Can I Tell if a Shape is Symmetrical?

Symmetry occurs when one shape becomes exactly like another if you flip, slide or turn it. For example, a square has 4 lines of symmetry, while a triangle has 3. To check for symmetry, you can fold the shape in half and see if both sides match perfectly. Another way is to use a mirror - if the shape's reflection is identical on both sides, it's symmetrical. Understanding symmetry can help with identifying patterns in geometry and art. Keep practicing by identifying symmetrical shapes around you!
