Fold and turn: build a symmetry table for eight shapes
What you needPaper, scissors, a ruler and a drawing pin. Work in pairs so that one folds while the other records.
Method for lines of symmetryCut each shape out accurately and try every fold. A fold counts only if the halves match exactly.
Method for rotational symmetryDraw round the shape, pin it through its centre and turn it. Count how many times it fits the outline exactly in one full turn.
