The worksheet focuses on identifying the symmetry in different shapes, specifically determining if they have line symmetry, rotational symmetry, or neither. Here's how you can analyze and solve the problems:

### Symmetry Definitions:
1. **Line Symmetry**: A shape has line symmetry if it can be folded along a line so that the two halves match exactly.
2. **Rotational Symmetry**: A shape has rotational symmetry if it can be rotated (less than a full turn) about a central point and still look the same.

### Instructions:
For each shape, check off the appropriate boxes for line symmetry, rotational symmetry, or none.

### Analysis for Each Shape:
1. **Diamond Shape**:
   - **Line Symmetry**: Yes (has vertical and horizontal lines of symmetry).
   - **Rotational Symmetry**: Yes (Order of 2, 180° rotation).

2. **Equilateral Triangle**:
   - **Line Symmetry**: Yes (has three lines of symmetry).
   - **Rotational Symmetry**: Yes (Order of 3, 120° rotation).

3. **Letter 'M'**:
   - **Line Symmetry**: Yes (vertical line of symmetry).
   - **Rotational Symmetry**: No.

4. **Arrow Bent**:
   - **Line Symmetry**: No.
   - **Rotational Symmetry**: No.

5. **Arrow Horizontal**:
   - **Line Symmetry**: Yes (horizontal line of symmetry).
   - **Rotational Symmetry**: No.

6. **Pentagon (with one side parallel to the base)**:
   - **Line Symmetry**: Yes (has a vertical line of symmetry).
   - **Rotational Symmetry**: No.

7. **Isosceles Triangle**:
   - **Line Symmetry**: Yes (vertical line of symmetry).
   - **Rotational Symmetry**: No.

8. **Asterisk-like Shape (star with 8 arms)**:
   - **Line Symmetry**: Yes (multiple lines of symmetry).
   - **Rotational Symmetry**: Yes (Order of 8, 45° rotation).

9. **Letter 'G'**:
   - **Line Symmetry**: No.
   - **Rotational Symmetry**: No.

10. **Hexagon (with indentations)**:
    - **Line Symmetry**: Yes (multiple lines of symmetry).
    - **Rotational Symmetry**: Yes (Order of 6, 60° rotation).

11. **Clockwise Arrow**:
    - **Line Symmetry**: No.
    - **Rotational Symmetry**: Yes (Order of 3, 120° rotation).

12. **Letter 'S'**:
    - **Line Symmetry**: No.
    - **Rotational Symmetry**: Yes (Order of 2, 180° rotation).

### 5 Relative Questions:
1. What is the difference between rotational symmetry of order 2 and order 4?
2. How does line symmetry differ between regular polygons and irregular polygons?
3. Can a shape have rotational symmetry but no line symmetry? Provide an example.
4. How does the angle of rotation influence the order of rotational symmetry?
5. What are some real-world examples where symmetry is important in design?

### Tip:
When analyzing symmetry, always look for multiple lines of symmetry first, as they often suggest rotational symmetry as well.
