A shape has rotational symmetry, if it looks the same in more than one position, when rotated about its centre. We say it has a rotational symmetry of order 2 if it looks the same in 2 positions within a whole turn © T Madas

A shape has rotational symmetry, if it looks the same in more than one position, when rotated about its centre. We say it has a rotational symmetry of order 3 if it looks the same in 3 positions within a whole turn © T Madas

Rotation and Rotational Symmetry © T Madas

We we start we the flag shape below We want to create a new shape with rotational symmetry We pick a point as the centre of rotation For rotational symmetry of order 2: We rotate the shape by 180° 360 ÷ 2 = 180 © T Madas

For rotational symmetry of order 4: We rotate the shape by 90° 360 ÷ 4 = 90 © T Madas

For rotational symmetry of order 3: We rotate the shape by 120° 360 ÷ 3 = 120 © T Madas

For rotational symmetry of order 5: We rotate the shape by 72° 360 ÷ 5 = 72 © T Madas
