What is turn symmetry?
turn symmetry is when you turn your shape a fraction of a way in a circle and it still makes the same shape
What is the order of turn symmetry?
it is the number of times the shape is the same after you turn it without using any that are used yet
What is the point of a symmetry circle?
No matter how you turn a circle, it will always be in the same position, therefore circles have infinite amounts of lines of symmetry.
What is the number of degrees a figure rotates called?
It is called its order of rotational symmetry depending on its shape as for example a square has rotational symmetry to the order of 4 because it returns to its same shape every time of a turn of 90 degrees and so 360/90 = 4
How do you find line symmetry?
Look at a shape and see if you can see that two halves mirror each other. To check, get a mirror and put it along this line. If the shape still looks the same using the mirror you have a line of symmetry. You can also trace half of the shape, turn the tracing paper over, put it on the other half of the shape and check it is the same. Yes another way to do it is think REFLECTION. If they are exactly the same, you have a line of symmetry!

Why does the last time when you turn a shape for rotational symmetry not count towards the number of times it has rotational symmetry?
It depends on what you mean by "the last time". Your last time may not be my idea of last time. The turn that brings the object back to its starting position IS counted but only if the object has at least one other position of symmetry. This is to exclude objects that have symmetry of order 1. These are not regarded as being symmetrical because then every object would be symmetrical.
Order of rotational symmetry on an oval?
Ah, the beauty of symmetry! An oval has an infinite order of rotational symmetry because it looks the same no matter how much you turn it. Just like nature's wonders, the oval's graceful curves bring a sense of harmony and balance to our world.
It fits its own outline in exactly two ways in one complete turn?
A shape with rotational symmetry of order 2.
Kind of symmetry does a starfish have?
turn symmetry
Which number have half turn symmetry?
0 and 8. In some fonts, 1 does, as well.
What four sided shape has no line of symmetry and fits its own outline in exactly two ways in one complete turn?
a parallelogram

How can you determine whether or not a polygon has symmetry?
