Read the story

A shape is symmetrical. The line of symmetry runs down the middle.

To the left of the line, 5 squares are colored.

We mirror every square to the right. There are 5 on the right too.

Five plus 5 is 10. The whole shape has 10 squares.

To the left of the line, 7 squares are colored. How many squares does the whole shape have?

Answer and working

Correct! 7 plus 7 is 14. The whole shape has 14 squares.

7 + 7 = 14
