GCSE Secondary Maths Age 13-17 - Shapes & Area: Transformations - Explained

The video tutorial explains how to rotate a shape 90 degrees clockwise about a center point using tracing paper. It provides practical advice on using tracing paper or alternatives like greaseproof paper. The tutorial also covers the importance of marking key points and using a ruler for accuracy. Additionally, it discusses different types of transformations, including reflection, translation, and enlargement, with a focus on identifying the correct transformation and mirror line.

What is the key action required to rotate a shape 90 degrees clockwise?
