How to do a Rotation - Help with IGCSE GCSE Maths

What is Rotation

what are transformations and what are rotations. pas your igcse gcse maths exam today!

On your GCSE IGCSE Maths exam paper you will get questions about Transformations. We need to know 4 types of transformations: Reflections, Translations, Rotations and Enlargements. This part will show you step by step all you need to know about rotations.

What do you need to take into consideration and what are commonly made mistakes? Remember to contact me if you still don't understand Rotations. You can leave a message on the Forum (Homepage) or send me a message on Facebook or Twitter. I will help you with your maths by making more maths videos and activities for you. Good luck and have fun!

In the previous video I have explained that to rotate and object you need to be given an angle, direction and centre of rotation. To see if you really understand what rotations are, check the following video during your maths revision. The example question will again show you what a rotation is which will prepare you for your maths exam. Good luck and have fun!

How to find the Center of Rotation

In the previous two maths videos you have learned that when you are asked to rotate an object, you need to be given the angle of rotation (usually 90, 180 or 270 degrees), the direction of rotation (clockwise or anticlockwise) and the center of rotation. What will you need to do if you are given an object and its image after rotation and you are asked to find or construct the center of rotation? Check out the next video and find out how to construct the center of rotation!

You have learned many important aspects of transformations already. We have spoken about what reflections are and that we call the line of reflection also the mirror line. We have distinguished between an object and its image. This section explained to you what rotations are and how to perform a rotation. Now it is time to learn the next type of transformation. so follow the link and learn everything about Translations!
