A number of capital letters in our alphabet are symmetrical. More specifically, several letters can be reflected across a horiztal or a vertical line going through their centre. In class today we looked at all of the letters of the alphabet, focusing specifically on capital letters and we found that:
- Some have NO lines of symmetry
- Some have 1 line of symmetry
- Some have 2 lines of symmetry
- 1 letter has many lines of symmetry
- Most letters DO NOT have rotational symmetry
- O is in a category of its own
Take a look at the alphabet again and see if you can remember which letters had symmetry.
