In this activity, students look for symmetry in letters of the alphabet. Mirror (or reflection) symmetry divides a figure or design into halves that are mirror images. In other words, objects are the same on both sides of a line (usually in the middle). This center line or axis can be located either vertically or horizontally. We experience symmetry every day. Butterflies are good examples of mirror symmetry in nature. In fact, most animals and plants exhibit some form of symmetry in their body shape and their markings. Mirror symmetry is found in manufactured objects, too.
