3. Rotational Symmetry
All 2 dimensional shapes have some rotational symmetry. The degree of rotational symmetry that an object has is known as its order.
For shapes that have “order 2” rotational symmetry or higher, a single centre of rotation can be located.
For shapes that have only “order 1” rotational symmetry a centre of rotation can be found anywhere within it.
PowerPoint XP or above is needed to view the rotations on this presentation.
Order 1
Order 2
Order 3
Order 4
The order of rotational symmetry that an object has is the number of times that it fits on to itself during a full rotation of 360 degrees.
