Rotations (A) WORKSHEET
Suitable for Grades: 8th Grade
CCSS: 8.G.A.2, 8.G.A.3
CCSS Description: Understand that a two-dimensional figure is congruent to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, and translations; given two congruent figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the congruence between them.
Describe the effect of dilations, translations, rotations, and reflections on twodimensional figures using coordinates.
Describe the effect of dilations, translations, rotations, and reflections on twodimensional figures using coordinates.
Rotations (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 counterclockwise around a given point by multiples of 90 degrees. The polygons in each question are unique and have vertical, horizontal, and diagonal sides. All centers 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.
