Turns
This worksheet helps illustrate to students the principals of turns or rotations, encouraging them to describe them as half and quarter turns and the direction of the turn. This resource is a part of a larger unit designed to teach your students to describe geometric transformations, including slides and and flips, and quarter and half turns.

Learning goals
- We are learning to describe and perform translations, reflections and rotations of shapes and to identify symmetries.
- We are learning to describe translations, reflections and rotations of two-dimensional shapes and to identify line and rotational symmetries.
