Explore the fascinating world of symmetry by examining groups of letters for vertical, horizontal, and point symmetry. This lesson helps students distinguish between symmetrical forms, providing examples with letters such as H, I, O, and X. Additionally, we define even and odd functions, illustrating that even functions are symmetric about the y-axis, while odd functions exhibit symmetry about the origin. Engage with practical graphing exercises to find lines or points of symmetry and solidify understanding through a worksheet designed for interactive learning.

Graph the following functions and look for lines or points of symmetry.
Define even and odd functions. Even function – function whose graphs are symmetric with respect to the y-axis [f(x)=f(-x)] Odd function – function whose graphs are symmetric with respect to the origin [f(-x)=-f(x)]
