Rotational Symmetry of Shapes Worksheet

This worksheet set requires students to visualise the order of rotational symmetry of each shape and record their answer. Students will then be required to cut out the shapes and testing the rotational symmetry on the flip side of the worksheet before recording their findings. Students should cut one shape out at a time, test and record their answers to avoid misplacing the cut-outs.

An answer key is included with your download to make grading fast and easy!  

Differentiation Tips for This Symmetry Worksheet

In addition to individual student work time, use this worksheet as a:

• Maths rotation or guided group
• fast finisher activity 
• homework assignment
• whole-class review (via smartboard)

For students who require an extra challenge, ask them to draw their own shapes with rotational symmetry and record their findings on the order of rotational symmetry for each shape. 

Assist students who need extra support by having the shapes already cut and ready for them to use, or ask them to complete fewer shapes.
