Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Turn the class around. Scholars define rotations of multiples of 90 degrees and create algebraic mappings for them. After an introduction to symmetry, pupils determine which letters of the alphabet have rotational and reflectional symmetry. Individuals practice performing rotations on the coordinate plane.
