- Symmetry-a shape is symmetrical when it looks the same on the other side of the reflection line. If you fold the shape in half, the edges all meet up. Some letters are symmetrical like A and X, but not N or Z. Students should be able to draw the line of symmetry as well as draw the reflection of a shape. Using dot paper can help to draw the reflection. The challenge is when the reflection line is at a diagonal.
