THE ALPHABET SYMMETRY G E O AND Q E R U B Y
How about the letters H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, and P? Think about whether any of these letters might have 2 lines of symmetry. Which letters have zero lines of symmetry? Which letters have one line of symmetry? Which letters have two lines of symmetry? Enter your answers below.
That's right! J, K, L, N, and P have zero lines of symmetry. M has one line of symmetry, and H, I, and O have 2 lines of symmetry. Did you get them all right?
Let's look at Q, R, S, T, U, and V. Do you see any lines of symmetry here?
Q has a line of Symmetry where many people say no Can you find where is the symmerty in Q?! It is a bit like O Symmetry.
Have you found it!?
I have.
Right again! The Q, R, S are not symmetrical, so they have zero lines of symmetry. The T, U, and V are symmetrical, but they each have only one line of symmetry. None of these letters has two lines of symmetry. Now think about the last letters of the alphabet!
Inspect the letters above. Do you see any lines of symmetry in any of them? Which letters have zero lines of symmetry? Which letters have one line of symmetry? Which letters have two lines of symmetry? Enter your answers below.
That's right! The Z is has no lines of symmetry. The W and Y have one line of symmetry. The X has two lines of symmetry. Now let's play a game with our Alphabet Symmetry.
Let's review the Alphabet Symmetry. Based on the number of lines of symmetry a letter has, that's how much the letter is "worth". Letters with zero lines of symmetry are worth zero points. Letters with one line of symmetry are worth one point. Letters with two lines of symmetry are worth two points. Do you think you can find out how much This name is worth (GEOTREEARTLANG)? Use the Figure below and find your own answer below.
Did you come up with a value of 8 for my name? You can see above how much each letter was worth. Then I added them all together. Now, let's find out how much your name is worth.
