Symmetry and Patterns

The Beauty of Symmetry and Patterns

Symmetry means something looks the same after a flip or a turn. Patterns repeat in a regular way.

Types of Symmetry

  • Line Symmetry: One side is a mirror image of the other.
  • Rotational Symmetry: Looks the same after a turn.

Patterns Around Us

Patterns appear in art, music, and nature—like stripes on a zebra or petals on a flower.

Why Do We Care?

Symmetry and patterns make things beautiful and help us recognize and predict how things work.

Examples

  • Butterfly wings show line symmetry.

  • Tiles on a bathroom floor form repeating patterns.

In a Nutshell

Symmetry and patterns add order and beauty to shapes and designs.
