Rotational Symmetry in Shapes
Learn how to recognize the order of rotational symmetry in any shape. Understand that the order is determined by how many times the shape fits onto itself during a 360° turn. Discover the rotational symmetry of different shapes.

Remember your MARGIN !!! DATE Objectives: To be able to recognise the order of rotational symmetry of any shape
Rotational Symmetry • The order of rotational symmetry of a shape is determined by how many times the shape fits onto itself during a 360° turn. (Example 1) • Every shape has an order of rotational symmetry, even if it is order 1. (Example 2) • Have a look at the following shapes…
