Read and notice.
A shape has a line of reflection symmetry when folding along that line makes its two halves match. A rectangle that is not a square has two such lines. A leaf may look nearly symmetrical without matching exactly.
Try it.
- Fold a sheet of paper and draw a simple shape on one side of the fold.
- Copy its mirror image on the other side. Compare corresponding points.
- Draw a leaf. Decide whether its two halves match exactly or approximately.
