2D Shape Rotation Worksheet
A rotation turns a shape around a fixed point. The shape keeps its size and form, but its position or the way it faces may change. Use clockwise and anticlockwise turns to solve the rotation challenges.

Think about what changes and what stays the same when shapes turn.
5.A triangle has side lengths 3 cm, 4 cm and 5 cm. It is rotated 90° clockwise. What are its side lengths after the turn?

7.A rectangle is turned 90° clockwise. Describe one way its appearance or position changes, and one property that stays the same.
Draw an L-shaped tile in the box. Then draw the same tile after a quarter-turn clockwise around a dot you mark as the centre of rotation. Keep the tile the same size.
8.A spinner turns 90° clockwise, then 180° clockwise. What single clockwise rotation has the same effect?
9.A square tile has a pattern that looks unchanged after a 90° clockwise turn. What does this tell you about the pattern?
