Rotational Symmetry
This worksheet introduces students to the concept of rotational symmetry.
It is a part of a larger unit that was designed to enable students to describe translations, reflections and rotations, as well as identify the line and rotational symmetries of 2D shapes.
Learning goals
- We are learning to describe translations, reflections and rotations of two-dimensional shapes and to identify line and rotational symmetries.
- We are learning to describe and perform translations, reflections and rotations of shapes and to identify symmetries.
