What is Rotation Symmetry?
A shape has rotation symmetry when it looks exactly the same after being rotated around its center. The number of times it matches as it rotates through 360° is called its order.
0°
Symmetry Order: 4
A square looks the same 4 times during a full rotation of 360°.
Tip: Watch the small dark dot on the shape. It is a reference point that shows how the shape turns.
