2D Shape Symmetry - How Many Lines of Symmetry (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on identifying the number of lines of symmetry in various 2D shapes such as triangles, squares, and octagons. The problems are formulated to strengthen understanding of symmetry within the context of basic geometric shapes. Each question presents a shape and asks the student to determine how many lines of symmetry it possesses, offering multiple choice answers. This is an introductory exploration into geometric shape classification, specifically around understanding symmetry concepts.
