- Symmetry is all around us. A figure shows symmetry when part of it is a mirror image of itself. Think of a human face with a line of symmetry down the middle of the nose and mouth, the shape of a half-gallon of orange juice, or a couch. These things all have symmetry. Animals have symmetry too. Juanita the lobster has a symmetrical body, with the same number and type of claws and antennae on each side. Think of all of the creatures in the story and discuss whether or not they have symmetry.
