What does Rotation mean to you?
4
The shape moves 1 quadrant to the right on the coordinate plane.
90° Clockwise
The shape moves 1 quadrant to the left on the coordinate plane.
90° Counter
Clockwise
The shape moves 2 quadrant to the right on the coordinate plane.
180° Clockwise
The shape moves 2 quadrant to the left on the coordinate plane.
180° Counter
Clockwise

What similarities and differences do you notice about the 4 rotations we just talked about?
6
Shape rotates 3 quadrants to the right ending up in the same quadrant as a 90° Counter-Clockwise Rotation
270° Clockwise → 90⁰ CCW
Shape rotates 3 quadrants to the leftt ending up in the same quadrant as a 90° Clockwise Rotation
270° CCW → 90⁰ Clockwise

CL-X
x & y switch places
x becomes its opposite
-x → +x
+x → -x
(x, y) → (y, -x)
90° CLockwise
CO-Y
x & y switch places
y becomes its opposite
-y → +y
+y → -y
(x, y) → (-y, x)
90° COunter-clockwise
Algebraic representation Clockwise
15
x & y stay in their places
both x & y become their opposite
-x → +x
+x → -x
-y → +y
+y → -y
(x, y) → (-x, -y)
180° CLockwise
x & y stay in their places
both x & y become their opposite
-x → +x
+x → -x
-y → +y
+y → -y
(x, y) → (-x, -y)
180° COunter-clockwise
Algebraic representation Clockwise
16
Switch the directions to 90° Counter-clockwise and use the CL-X rule
x & y switch places
x becomes its opposite
-x → +x
+x → -x
(x, y) → (y, -x)
270° CLockwise
Switch the directions to 90° Clockwise and use the CO-Y rule
x & y switch places
y becomes its opposite
-y → +y
+y → -y
(x, y) → (-y, x)
270° COunter-clockwise
Algebraic representation Clockwise
17
