turn symmetry is when you turn your shape a fraction of a way in a circle and it still makes the same shape
it is the number of times the shape is the same after you turn it without using any that are used yet
No matter how you turn a circle, it will always be in the same position, therefore circles have infinite amounts of lines of symmetry.
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
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!
