Symmetry is presented not only as a geometric concept but also as a didactic tool that promotes understanding of spatial relationships, proportions, and transformations in the Cartesian plane. The study covers the main types of symmetry — axial, rotational, translational, and origin symmetry — and illustrates each with graphical representations, geometric figures, and real-world contexts, such as art, nature, and architectural patterns. It also discusses practical classroom activities involving dance, body movement, and group dialogue as strategies to explore symmetry in an interactive and meaningful way. Additionally, the paper analyzes ENEM exam questions that address symmetry, emphasizing its relevance in visual literacy and problem solving. Ultimately, the work highlights symmetry as a bridge between mathematics, art, and cultural expression, fostering integrated and contextualized learning.ptAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 BrazilMatemática – EnsinoGeometria euclidianaPlano cartesianoSimetriaMathematics educationSymmetryGeometryCartesian planeTrabalho de Conclusão de CursoCIENCIAS EXATAS E DA TERRA::MATEMATICA
