Still looks the same 0 Overview Using this Resource Connecting to the Curriculum Marking Student Responses Further Resources This task is about finding the smallest fraction of a turn so that a shape remains the same. Select the fraction of a full turn that each shape may be rotated so that it still looks the same. Question a) What fraction of a full turn may this shape be rotated, so that it still looks the same? \(1 \over 4\) of a turn \(1 \over 3\) of a turn \(1 \over 2\) of a turn none of these Question b) What fraction of a full turn may this shape be rotated, so that it still looks the same? \(1 \over 5\) of a turn \(1 \over 4\) of a turn \(1 \over 3\) of a turn none of these Question c) What fraction of a full turn may this shape be rotated, so that it still looks the same? \(1 \over 4\) of a turn \(1 \over 3\) of a turn \(1 \over 2\) of a turn none of these Question d) What fraction of a full turn may this shape be rotated, so that it still looks the same? \(1 \over 5\) of a turn \(1 \over 4\) of a turn \(1 \over 3\) of a turn none of these Task administration: This task can be completed with pencil and paper or online (with auto marking displayed to students).
