1. Symmetry worksheet
1.. Symmetry in the Alphabet
1
Which letters of the alphabet have lines of symmetry? Draw lines of symmetry through
the letters below to show if line symmetry exist. Write ‘YES’ or ‘NO’ under each of the
letters below if rotational symmetry exist.
A B C D E
F G H I J
K L M N O
P R S T U
W Z
Write at least one word, name, or phrase that has reflectional symmetry when written
horizontally.
Write at least one word, name, or phrase that has reflectional symmetry when written
vertically.
