ORDER OF ROTATIONAL SYMMETRY

1. Here is the shape

Write down the order of rotational symmetry of this shape.

2. Shade one more square to make
a. A pattern with 1 line of symmetry

1
 b. A pattern with rotational symmetry of order 2

3. On the grid, shade in one more square so that the completed shape has one line of
symmetry.

 4. On the grid below, share in three more squares so that the completed shape has a
rotational symmetry of order 2.

5. On the diagram below, shade some white squares until the shape has
a. 1 line of symmetry

b. Rotational symmetry of order 2

 6. Complete these pattern so that they have rotational symmetry about the centre

7. Circle which of the following shapes that has two both lines of symmetry and
rotational symmetry of order 2. Tick into the shape that has rotational symmetry of
order 3.

 8.
a. Shade in one more section on the grid below so that the overall shape has a
single line of symmetry.

b. Now shade two sections in this second grid so that the overall shape has an
order of rotational symmetry of 2.

9.

a. How many lines of symmetry does shape (i) have?

b. What is the order of rotational symmetry of (ii) shape?

 10. There are four square tiles

a. Shade in the diagram below to show how the four tiles can fit together to make
a pattern with four lines of symmetry.

b. Now shade the next diagram to show how the four tiles can fit together to make
a pattern with no lines of symmetry.

c. Show how four tiles can fit together to make a pattern with rotational
symmetry of order 2.

 11. In the diagram, two small triangles are shaded. Shade one more small triangles, so
that the diagram will then have one line of symmetry.

12. In the diagram, two small squares are shaded. Shade two more small squares, so
that the diagram will then have rotational symmetry of order 2.

13. State the order of rotational symmetry for each shape below

 14. On each of these grids, complete the shading so that the pattern has reflection but
not rotation symmetry.

15. On each of these grids, complete the shading so that the pattern has rotation but
not reflection symmetry.

16. On each of these grids, complete the shading so that the pattern has rotation and
reflection symmetry.
