Multi-element rotations

Track how multiple elements within a composite figure each rotate independently

What you'll learn

  1. 1

    Imagine a spinning top 🪀 — when you twist it, the whole thing turns around. That's a rotation!

  2. 2

    What happens to each shape in a multi-element rotation?

  3. 3

    Look at this pattern: a square, a triangle, and a circle. Each rotates 90° clockwise.

  4. 4

    Rotate these three shapes 90° clockwise — tap each one to spin it.

  5. 5

    If you rotate a circle 90°, what changes?

  6. 6

    Now try a 180° rotation — that's half a turn.

  7. 7

    How many degrees is a half turn?
