Further investigate car logos by looking at cars. These could be:
- cars that your family owns
- cars parked in your street
- images of cars in magazines, newspapers or on the internet.
  Hint! Make sure you have an adult with you if you investigate cars outside, and always be cautious of moving cars.

Draw and describe how car manufacturer logos do (or don’t) demonstrate symmetry.

Hint! Focus on the logo design rather than the words.

Pretend you own a car manufacturing company.

Design:

- a logo that has 1 line of symmetry
- a logo that has 2 lines of symmetry
- a logo that is asymmetrical (no lines of symmetry).

Pretend you own a car manufacturing company. Design a logo for the company that has at least 2 lines of symmetry.

Paper planes – part 1
Duration: 6:27

Follow the steps below to create your symmetrical paper plane.

Step 1:

Fold your piece of paper in half to create a line of symmetry.

Hint! To keep the plane symmetrical, each side of the centre fold line needs to be a mirror image.

Step 2:

Make a fold on the right-hand side of the centre fold line. Mirror this on the left-hand side.
Repeat this until you are happy with your plane design.

Follow the steps below to create your asymmetrical paper plane.

Step 1:

Fold your piece of paper in half to create a line of symmetry. Fold one half of your paper in the exact same way as you did to create your symmetrical plane.
