Unit 1: Transformations

Lesson 3: Rotations
Objective: To identify, represent, and draw the rotations of
geometric figures in the coordinate plane.

rotation – a transformation where a figure “turns”

around a point called the center of rotation.
 Think of the coordinate plane as
if it were a circle.

L Degrees we can rotate a figure

K around the plane:
H
 Describe the rotation of the pre-
image to the image.
Degree? Direction? Center?

A (0, 6), B(6, 6), and C(7, 3). Label each rotation, using
this figure as the pre-image each time.
