Drills
Rotating a shape about a centre with tracing paper, where centre, angle and direction are all required.
Author note — to cover
Rotate shapes through 90, 180 and 270 degrees about a given centre — origin, vertex or external point — with direction stated and tracing paper allowed; images congruent. Finding the centre of a given rotation sits with Describing a transformation; rotational symmetry of one shape is an earlier page. Both tiers. (G7)
