    This document discusses rotational symmetry. It defines rotational symmetry as when a shape can be rotated about a point through an angle less than 360 degrees and map onto itself. The point of rotation is called the center of rotational symmetry. Examples are given of shapes rotated 90, 180, 270, and 360 degrees to demonstrate rotational symmetry. The order of rotational symmetry is defined as the number of different positions a shape appears the same when rotated through a full turn. Different examples are provided to illustrate rotational symmetry orders of 1 through 6.

    Rotation

    A rotation turns a shape or figure about a point and through a given


    angle. The point about which a figure rotates is called the centre of
    rotation and is often labelled O.
    Rotational Symmetry

    A shape has Rotational Symmetry if it can be rotated about a point through an angle less than
    360º, so that it maps onto itself.

    The point through which the object rotates is called Centre of Rotational Symmetry.
