ACTIVITY 1
TOPIC: SYMMETRY
Symmetry is an important geometrical concept commonly seen in nature and is used in every field of our life.
Artists, manufacturers, designers, architect and other make use of the idea of symmetry. Leaves, flowers,
clothes, mats, handkerchiefs, utensils have symmetrical designs.

What is line symmetry

Shapes or patterns can have multiple lines of symmetry, depending on how many times the shape can be
folded in half and still remain the same.

Examples:

What is Translationa symmetry

When a pattern or design is made by slliding or moving in original figure repetidely, we say that design has
translation symmetry

Examples:

What is Rotational symmetry

If a figure is rotated around a centre point and it still appear exactly as it did before the rotation, it is said to
have rotational symmetry. The number of positions in which a figure can be rotated and still appears exactly as
it did before the rotation, is called the order of symmetry.
Answer the following using above concept of symmetry
Q.1 By paper folding method divide a graph sheet in to four parts with two lines of symmetry, then
make any pattern or design using the concept of translation symmetry (figure 1)

Figure - 1 Figure - 2

Q.2 In the above figure – 2, Make a pattern such that it has four lines of symmetry and rotational
symmetry of order 4.

Q.3 List any 2 symmetrical objects with figure from your home which have

French Holiday Homework
I. Compréhension:
La prise de la Bastille: fête nationale de la France
Les Américains célèbrent la fête de l’Indépendence le 4 juillet. Les Français
célèbrent leur fête nationale le 14 juillet, le jour de la prise de la Bastille. Jusqu’à la
fin du 18ème siècle, un roi, entouré d’un groupe d’aristocrates, a régné sur la France.
Tous ceux qui ont été en désaccord avec le roi, ont été mis dans une grande prison,
construite comme une forteresse. Cette prison, la Bastille, pour un grand nombre de
gens a représenté toutes les inégalités, les injustices en France.
Le roi et les aristocrates ont été extrêmement puissants et très riches, alors que le
reste de la population n’avait (didn’t have) aucun pouvoir et très peu d’argent. Le 14
juillet 1789, un groupe de paysans a pris la Bastille d’assaut et a libéré tous les
prisonniers. C’était le début de la Révolution française. La Révolution a amené la chute
(fall) de la monarchie, et le gouvernement de la France est revenue au peuple sous la
forme d’un gouvernement démocratique. Maintenant il n’y a plus de roi en France. Tout
comme la fête de l’indépendence qui célèbre l’indépendence de l’Amérique vis-à-vis du
roi d’Angleterre, la fête de la Bastille célèbre la fin du règne du monarque français.

A. Dites vrai ou faux :

1. La France est gouvernée par un roi.
2. Les Américains ont lutté (fought) pour l’Indépendance contre le roi de France.
B. Donnez le contraire :
1. grande - ___________________ 2. la fin - _______________
C. Donnez l’infinitif du verbe :
1. revenue - __________________ 2. avait - __________________

1. Le 15 août est une ____________________________ nationale indienne.

1. Deux fleuves 4. Un voisin au nord de la France
2. Paris 5. Un voisin à l’est de la France
3. La mer au sud de la France 6. l’Ile au sud de la France

III. Dans votre cahier de français, conjuguez les verbes au passé composé :

1. Aller (nég) 4. Faire (inversion nég)
