Rotational Symmetry Lesson Sequence | Space

The Rotational Symmetry learning sequence has been programmed in a way that informs the teacher prior to teaching. It includes differentiation and step by step instructions against the 'I do', 'we do' and 'you do' approach. Designed to be embedded into any quality numeracy unit of work, this learning sequence is aligned to the Australian Curriculum and NSW English Syllabus.

Lesson 1: We are learning to identify shapes that have rotational symmetry and determine the 'order' of rotational symmetry.

Lesson 2: We are learning to identify rotational symmetry with the use of digital technologies.

V9 Australian Curriculum Aligned - Year 4

• Space | AC9M4SP03
  • recognise line and rotational symmetry of shapes and create symmetrical patterns and pictures, using dynamic geometric software where appropriate

NSW Stage 3 Syllabus Aligned

• Two-dimensional spatial structure | MA3-2DS-01: investigates and classifies two-dimensional shapes, including triangles and quadrilaterals based on their properties
  • Investigate the symmetry properties (line and rotational) of quadrilaterals
