Rotating Quadrilaterals: Changes and Similarities

This lesson explores the effects of rotating a quadrilateral, focusing on what changes and what remains the same. Key concepts include congruency of line segments and angles, parallelism, and orientation. The lesson reviews important vocabulary and demonstrates rotations of 90, 180, and 270 degrees, highlighting the use of prime notation. It concludes with a summary of changes and preserved properties, emphasizing the transformation's impact on position.
