Rotations

Rotations are transformations that turn (spin) a figure around a fixed point called the center of rotation. The center of rotation can be the origin (0,0), the center of the object, or another point on or off the figure. Rotations are described by their angle of turn (e.g. 90°, 180°, etc.) and direction (clockwise or counterclockwise). Rotating a figure results in a congruent image, with the pre-image and image related by specific rules depending on the angle and center of rotation.

ROTATIONS

TRANSFORMATIONS
OVERVIEW
Transformation is the movement (or ‘mapping’) of all the points of a figure
according to a common operation

Pre-Image is the original figure before the transformation


where it started
often named with letters. ie- triangle ABC

Image is the new figure created from the transformation


where it is after the change
named with apostrophe after the letters. ie- triangle A’B’C’ called prime

Congruence: The image and pre-image will be same size, same shape
ROTATIONS
A rotation is a transformation that turns (spins) a figure
around a fixed point called the center of rotation.
Center of rotation can be the origin (0,0), the center of the
object, or another point
A rotation is clockwise if its direction is the same as that of a
clock hand.
A rotation in the other direction is called counterclockwise.
A complete rotation is 360˚.
Quarter turn is 90 ˚, half turn is 180 ˚, Three Quarter turn is 270 ˚
CENTER OF ROTATION

origin (0,0) the object

ROTATING A FIGURE ABOUT

COORDINATE GRID…
Rotate the triangle 90˚ clockwise
It may help to draw a line from one
vertex of the object to the point of
rotation (origin)
 Imagine making a right angle with the line.

Estimate where / what quadrant a 90˚


clockwise rotation end up in?
 It will end up in quadrant 4.
90˚ rotation will move one quadrant
around, 180˚ moves 2 quadrants, 270˚
moves 3 quadrants
ROTATING A FIGURE ABOUT
THE ORIGIN ON A
COORDINATE GRID…
Estimate what quadrant the figure will
end up in.
It may help to draw a line from one vertex
of the object to the origin.
What quadrant would 180˚ counter-
clockwise rotation end up in?
 Imagine making a straight angle with the line.
 It will end up in quadrant 3.

reflecting over both the x and y axes)

The pre-image and image remain congruent. The angle measure
will not change, the side lengths will not change

ROTATIONAL SYMMETRY
RULES
Rotation Around an Objects Own Center Point
A shape has rotational symmetry if it fits onto itself two or more
times in one complete turn.
First, determine how many times a figure can land on itself
including the full turn.
Then divide 360˚ by that number to get the first rotational
degree.
For example, the figure above can be turned and land on itself 4
times.
360˚ ÷ 4 = 90˚.
The rotational degrees are 90˚, 180˚, 270˚ and 360˚.
Determine if the shape has rotational
symmetry. If it does, find all of its
rotational symmetries.

Yes = 180˚, 360˚
