Describing Rotations WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

This worksheet helps students understand and articulate the concept of rotational movements in geometry.

In section A students are tasked with identifying whether shapes have been rotated by a quarter, half, or three-quarters turn when all shapes have been rotated clockwise.

Then section B asks students to decide if images have been rotated clockwise or counter clockwise when all shapes have been rotated a quarter turn.

Lastly section C ties both these concepts together as learners identify the correct position of polyominoes after undergoing a half or a quarter turn, in both clockwise and anticlockwise directions.

The worksheet's progressive complexity helps students build confidence and competence in describing rotations.
