Understanding Rotations: Identifying and Rotating Figures in the Coordinate Plane

The video tutorial covers the concept of rotations in geometry, explaining how to identify and perform rotations on a coordinate plane. It introduces the vocabulary of transformations, including translations, reflections, and dilations. Using a clock analogy, the tutorial explains clockwise and counterclockwise rotations. Practical examples demonstrate rotating figures about the origin and a vertex, with strategies for visualizing these transformations.
