    The document discusses different 3D shapes and their planes of symmetry. It explains that a plane of symmetry divides a shape into two congruent mirror image halves. It then provides examples of different shapes and the number of planes of symmetry each possesses, including cuboids with 3 planes, square based prisms with 5 planes, cubes with 9 planes, isosceles triangular based prisms with 2 planes, equilateral triangular based prisms with 4 planes, rectangular based pyramids with 2 planes, and square based pyramids with 4 planes. Worksheets are also included for students to practice identifying planes of symmetry.

    Can you explain why the plane shown is not a plane of symmetry?

    This is similar to the situation for


    the rectangle which does not have
    a line of symmetry through its
    diagonal. Reflection through the
    diagonal produces a kite.
