Definition of Symmetry

An image has symmetry if you can produce the same image by turning, flipping or sliding the original image.

"Reflection" symmetry is the symmetry shown by the butterfly in the picture. The butterfly will look the same if you draw one half of it, and place a mirror along the dotted line to produce the other half as the reflection of the first half.

Some other types of symmetry are point symmetry and rotational symmetry.
