🎯 WALT: We Are Learning To

• Understand what rotational symmetry is

• Identify shapes with rotational symmetry

• Create and describe shapes that have rotational symmetry

Success Criteria:

By the end of this lesson, I can explain what rotational symmetry means, identify shapes with rotational symmetry, and create my own symmetrical shape.

📚 Part 1: Understanding Rotational Symmetry

1. A shape has rotational symmetry if it looks the same after being turned (rotated) less than a full turn. Which of these shapes has rotational symmetry?

Rectangle

Scalene triangle

Regular hexagon

Letter 'F'

2. If a square is rotated 90° clockwise, how will it look?

Exactly the same

Completely different

Upside down

Tilted

3. The order of rotational symmetry tells us how many times a shape looks the same during one complete turn (360°). What is the order of rotational symmetry for a regular triangle?

1

2

3

6

4. Which of these everyday objects have rotational symmetry? (Tick all that apply)

Car wheel

Ceiling fan

Clock face (without hands)

Letter 'A'
