3.24 Rotations GCSE PowerPoint Lesson

In this 30-slide lesson, pupils will learn how to carry out and describe rotations of shapes on a coordinate grid. They will begin by identifying the key components of a rotation: the centre of rotation, the angle of rotation, and the direction (clockwise or anticlockwise). Pupils will practise rotating shapes 90, 180 and 270 degrees about a given point, using tracing paper or coordinate methods to ensure accuracy. The lesson will emphasise the importance of clearly stating all parts of a rotation and checking that the shape remains congruent to the original.

Also includes printable examples and worksheet that coincide with the lesson slides.

The lesson includes:

• Clear, guided examples

• Discussion opportunities from Think, Pair, Share

• Mini whiteboard section to check understanding and clarify misconceptions

• One structured task to practise key skills

• Challenge activity to extend and deepen learning

Perfect for engaging learners while reinforcing essential geometry concepts.
