Rotations Notes2 Activity

The document discusses rotations of geometric shapes. It provides examples of rotating triangles ABC through 90, 180, 270, and 360 degree rotations and recording the new coordinates. Students are asked to determine the coordinates of rotated and reflected points and shapes. They are also asked to describe transformations that could match one shape to another.
