Flag Symmetry

Hello Year 5,

Symmetry is the theme of todays lesson, can you tell me how many lines of symmetry the following flags have:

1)
 




2)

 

3)
 

4)
 

5)
 

6)

 

7)

 

8)

 

9)


10) Use the flag page in the atlas, can you find any flag with 3 lines of symmetry? why/why not?
 
11) There is one country whose flag has  at least twice as many lines of symmetry as any other country! Can you find the flag and the country?

    6=1
    7=0
    8=0
    9=0
    10=No, because a rectangle has an equal amount of sides so if you can half it once have to half it twice, and three is odd.
    11=Switzerland
