Use your manipulative kit to form figures then use the VMK to record the figures.

For Question #1:
Create figures as asked for in PART C ONLY. Label your figures clearly using the label tool (see the example in your activity book). Use language such as “0 lines of symmetry” not just “figure 1.”

For Question #2:
Create figures as asked for in parts a, b and c. Use the Label tool and answer the questions.

Print a copy of your work (each question) and turn it in. Feel free to use black and white printing to save print credits. The printer is MNB 110.
