Rotation GCSE Maths
A rotation turns a shape around a fixed point called the centre of rotation. GCSE questions often ask for the angle and direction as well.
Describe a Rotation
- State the angle.
- State clockwise or anticlockwise.
- State the centre of rotation.
Exam tip: A complete description of rotation needs all three pieces of information.
Common mistake: Students often forget to include the centre of rotation when describing the transformation.
