Rotating Shapes

  1. What 3 things do you need to say to describe a rotation?
- Where the centre of rotation is
- How much it is turned through.
- Whether the rotation is clockwise or anticlockwise.

b. Explain what centre of rotation means
The centre of rotation is the coordinates that show where the shape will be turned from.

c. Now use these 3 things to describe the rotation on Page 1 of the myimaths lesson (i.e. describe the rotation of the triangle) The triangle The centre of rotation is 1,1. The triangle has been turned 90 degrees and is clockwise.
