Symmetry — Mathematics in Nature, Art, and Design
Symmetry is everywhere — in butterfly wings, snowflakes, building facades, and rangoli patterns. The ICSE Class 6 syllabus introduces symmetry as a geometric concept, teaching you to identify and count lines of symmetry and understand rotational symmetry.
A figure has a line of symmetry if folding it along that line makes both halves match exactly. A figure has rotational symmetry if rotating it by less than about its centre produces the same figure.
This worksheet builds from identifying symmetry in everyday objects to working with symmetric figures on a coordinate grid.
What Does This Worksheet Cover?
Aligned with the ICSE Class 6 Symmetry chapter:
- Lines of symmetry — identifying and drawing for given shapes
- Counting lines of symmetry — regular polygons, letters, everyday objects
- Reflection symmetry — completing a figure given half and a mirror line
- Rotational symmetry — order of rotational symmetry
- Centre of rotation — identifying the point of rotation
- Symmetry in regular polygons — a regular -gon has lines of symmetry
- Creating symmetric patterns — on dot grids and squared paper
| Level | Focus | Count |
|-------|-------|-------|
| Level 1 | Identify lines of symmetry, count for basic shapes and letters | 20 |
| Level 2 | Complete symmetric figures, reflection on grid, rotational symmetry order | 20 |
| Level 3 | Multi-step symmetry reasoning, patterns, combining line and rotational symmetry | 20 |
Sample Questions
Level 1 — Warm Up
- How many lines of symmetry does (a) a square (b) an equilateral triangle (c) a circle have?
- Which capital letters of the English alphabet have exactly one vertical line of symmetry?
- Draw all lines of symmetry for a regular hexagon.
Level 2 — Build Confidence
- Half of a symmetric figure is drawn on a grid. Complete the other half using the given line of symmetry.
- What is the order of rotational symmetry of (a) a square (b) an equilateral triangle (c) a regular pentagon?
- A shape has lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry of order . Name the shape.
Level 3 — Push Yourself
- A figure has rotational symmetry of order but no lines of symmetry. Draw an example of such a figure.
- How many lines of symmetry does a regular -gon (dodecagon) have? What is its order of rotational symmetry?
- On a grid, create a pattern that has exactly lines of symmetry (one horizontal, one vertical) and rotational symmetry of order .
Tips for ICSE Symmetry Questions
Tips for ICSE Symmetry Questions
1. Use the fold test. If you can fold a figure along a line and both halves match perfectly, that line is a line of symmetry. For paper-based work, tracing and folding is a valid check.2. Regular polygons have a clear pattern. A regular -sided polygon has exactly lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry of order .
3. Rotational symmetry order means how many positions look the same. Rotate the figure in equal steps. Count how many times (including the original) it looks identical in a full turn. A square looks the same at , , , and , so order = .
4. Some figures have rotational symmetry but no line symmetry. A figure like a triskelion (three curved arms from a centre) has order- rotational symmetry but zero lines of symmetry.
5. For grid-based reflection questions, count squares carefully. Each point on the original should be the same distance from the mirror line as the corresponding point on the reflection, but on the opposite side.
