Rotational symmetry resources

Students identify the axes of symmetry, and the order of symmetry of four geometrical shapes. The information is recorded in a table.

Students identify the angles of rotation that enable shapes to fit onto themselves.

Students identify axes of symmetry, and angles of rotation.

Students specify the smallest angle of rotation so a shape remains the same.

Students identify the order of rotational symmetry for a number of shapes.

Students draw lines of symmetry on a five sided star.

Students cut out shapes and rotate them to find the number of times each shape fits onto itself in a complete turn.

Students identify the smallest fraction of a turn so that a shape remains the same.
