Edexcel IGCSE Math A Foundation 4.3.A line and rotational symmetry

Edexcel IGCSE Math A syllabusMath A 4MA1First assessment 2018

Practise symmetry questions by counting mirror lines, drawing a line of symmetry and identifying the order of rotational symmetry.

How this is tested

Count the number of lines of symmetry for regular polygons or named quadrilaterals.
Draw a line of symmetry on a grid shape and label or position it accurately.
Identify shapes with no lines of symmetry or a given rotational symmetry property.

[Maximum number: 2]

Here is a regular hexagon.

(a)

Write down the order of rotational symmetry of a regular hexagon.

Here is a quadrilateral with 4 sides of equal length.

[ 1 ]

(b)

Draw all the lines of symmetry on the quadrilateral.

Here are some triangles drawn on a grid.

Two of these triangles are congruent.
