    E C D are not symmetric - I assume symmetric is the opposite side is identical right?

    You can draw a horizonal line through the letters E, C and D as the line of symmetry.  When you divide something in half with both sides the same, the line is a line of symmetry and the shape is symetric.

    when something is symetrical, a line down the middle makes it look the same, like folding it in half and holding it to a mirror will make it look whole again.

    Rozia - D, C, and E have a horizontal line of symmetry.  You can fold then in half across the middle of each letter.  M, H, and the other shapes have a vertical line of symmetry.

    The hexagon and star are especially fun - they both have several lines of symmetry.  The star has five and the hexagon has six.
