Rotation (A) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Give your students ample practice of rotating objects on individual square grids with this worksheet. There are 12 objects to rotate either clockwise or anticlockwise around a given point by multiples of 90 degrees. The polygons in each question are unique and have vertical, horizontal and diagonal sides. All centres of rotation are on a vertex of each polygon; the perfect place to introduce or discuss invariant points with your class or individual.
Other key questions include, why is no direction listed when rotating a shape 180 degrees and why have you not been asked to rotate a shape 360 degrees?
Ensure learners are equipped with a pencil and a ruler and they may require access to tracing paper.
