Lesson 4: Performing Rotations
TR: pp. 25-29
SB: pp. 160-163
(5SS7.6)
Performance
• Ask students to draw a 2-D shape on grid paper and choose the 
vertex of rotation. Students describe the direction of the turn, the 
fraction of the turn and the point of rotation (turn centre).
(5SS7.6)
• Ask students to stand facing a specified wall. They should follow 
oral directions to turn clockwise or counterclockwise to face another 
wall (

or of a turn). Their feet will be the turn centre as they 
pivot on that spot. 
(5SS7.5)
• Ask students to form pairs. Each student could provide his or her 
partner with a labelled polygon on grid paper, and specify a turn 
centre, direction of the turn (clockwise or counterclockwise) and 
fraction of the turn. Partners draw the rotations and explain their 
process.
(5SS7.5)
Interview
• Show the students the following diagram and ask them to describe 
the transformation.
(5SS7.6)
• For the rotation shown, ask students to describe the direction 
of the turn, the fraction of the turn, and the point of rotation.
