Rotation resources

Students make a series of rotational turns based on compass positions.

Students identify the picture of a cat which best shows each of four described transformations of the original cat.

Students cut and glue shapes to complete patterns involving rotation.

This task requires students to draw in what the pattern on a bicycle wheel would look like after it has made clockwise and anticlockwise turns.

Students identify which transformations could have been used one shape onto another.

Students use a template to complete three rotations of a bird in the cage. The same template is used to draw the reflection of the bird using the mirror line shown on the cage.

Student identify the direction and amount of rotation a shape has undergone.

Students cut and glue shapes to complete patterns involving translation, reflection and rotation.

Students identify place names that children on a map of Pirate Island will be facing after making clockwise or anticlockwise turns.

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

Students identify whether reflection, rotation, or translation best describes how a shape has been transformed.
