A shape has rotational symmetry, if it looks the same in more than one position, when rotated about its centre.
We say it has a rotational symmetry of order 2 if it looks the same in 2 positions within a whole turn

A shape has rotational symmetry, if it looks the same in more than one position, when rotated about its centre.
We say it has a rotational symmetry of order 3 if it looks the same in 3 positions within a whole turn

A shape has rotational symmetry, if it looks the same in more than one position, when rotated about its centre.
We say it has a rotational symmetry of order 4 if it looks the same in 4 positions within a whole turn

We we start we the flag shape belowWe want to create a new shape with rotational symmetryWe pick a point as the centre of rotationFor rotational symmetry of order 2:
We rotate the shape by 180°
180°
360 ÷ 2 = 180
© T Madas
For rotational symmetry of order 4:
We rotate the shape by 90°
90°
360 ÷ 4 = 90
© T Madas
For rotational symmetry of order 3:
We rotate the shape by 120°
120°
360 ÷ 3 = 120
© T Madas
For rotational symmetry of order 5:
We rotate the shape by 72°
72°
360 ÷ 5 = 72
