Use the clues about the symmetrical properties of these letters to place them on the grid.
This activity challenges you to decide on the 'best' number to use in each statement. You may need to do some estimating, some calculating and some research.
Use the interactivity to move Pat. Can you reproduce the graphs and tell their story?
