About This Course
This topic introduces learners to the transformation of rotation. Students learn to rotate figures about a point through a specified angle and direction. Emphasis is placed on identifying centre of rotation, angles, and describing rotations on a coordinate grid.
Learning Outcomes:
The learner should be able to:
- identify the order of rotational symmetry of plane figures.
- distinguish between clockwise and anti-clock wise rotation.
- state properties of rotation as a transformation including congruence.
- Perform and describe rotations of geometric figures.
- determine the centre and angle of rotation.
- Successive rotation.
Apply rotation to solve pattern and design problems
