This activity is about saying how far round a shape has turned, clockwise or anticlockwise.
Example 1
How far round have these shapes turned at each stage?
Answer
This shows half turns. The tips of the E go from pointing to the right, to the left, to the right and finally to the left.
Example 2
How far round have these shapes turned at each stage?
Answer
This shows quarter clockwise turns.
Look at the tip of the arrow. Imagine a clock face.
The tip goes from 12 to 3, to 6, to 9. At each stage it is moving clockwise a quarter turn.
Does that make sense? If you find it hard to remember which is clockwise or anticlockwise, spend a few minutes looking at the hands on a clock and see which way they turn. It will be clockwise.
Let's try some questions now.
