Centered, front view of the Taj Mahal. A dashed white line is overlaid down the center, with an arrow and the word "Axis" overlaid and pointing to it. A white rectangle overlay is around one of the pillars on the left. Caption. 1 side is a reflection of the other side.

This educational video, "Real World Math: Symmetry," explores the concept of symmetry, both in nature and geometric figures. It introduces key terminology like 'line of symmetry' and 'reflection,' explaining how symmetrical objects have congruent halves. The video also covers reflection symmetry, rotational symmetry, and translational symmetry, providing practical examples such as isosceles triangles, equilateral triangles, and circles. The educational significance of symmetry in engineering, art, and design is highlighted, with references to origami and famous symmetric structures like the Eiffel Tower. This content aligns with the Common Core Mathematics standards and is suitable for understanding geometric properties. Part of the "Real World Math" series.
