Write About the Math
How do you respond to your friend?¿Cómo le respondes a tu amigo?
Say your answer to a partner first. Then write it, using at least two of these words:
Model: A figure is symmetric only if there is a specific line where one side is a mirror image of the other. — A strong answer explains the line gives you something to compare the two sides across — without it, you can't test whether the sides actually match. A weak answer just says 'it looks the same.'
