This math topic focuses on identifying and counting the lines of symmetry in various 2D shapes such as hexagons, squares, octagons, and triangles. The problems present a shape and ask how many lines of symmetry each has, with multiple choice answers provided. This part of a beginner's unit on geometry helps students understand the symmetry properties of different two-dimensional figures.
