2D Shapes Module 3

The document discusses rotational symmetry in 2D shapes. It defines rotational symmetry as the number of times a shape can fit into itself when rotated 360 degrees around its center. It also defines order as the number of times a shape needs to be rotated to look the same. The document provides examples of different shapes and letters with their orders of rotational symmetry.

2D Shapes

Module 3

Rotational Symmetry
Learning Objective:

1. Identify rotational symmetry in familiar shapes,


patterns or images with maximum order 4.

2. Describe rotational symmetry as ‘order x’.


Rotational Symmetry

Definitions of rotational symmetry:


✓ the number of times a shape can “fit into itself” when it is rotated 360 degrees about its centre.
✓ turning a shape to another position but it still looks the same.

Order
Order is the number of times you need to rotate a shape to make it look the same.
