8.3 Recognising rotational symmetry



               3	 Write down the order of rotational symmetry of each of these road signs.
                       a           b           c           d           e           f

               	 Write the letter of each of the shapes below in the correct space in the table.
               	 Shape a has been done for you.

               5	 Samir has five red tiles and four white tiles.




               	  Draw two different ways that Samir could arrange these tiles so that he has
                  a shape with an order of rotational symmetry of 4.

               6	 Alex is making a pattern by colouring squares.
               	 This is what he has drawn so far. He has coloured seven squares.













               	 Make two copies of the diagram.
                  a	 In the first diagram, colour one more square so that the new pattern
                     has rotational symmetry of order 2.
                  b	 In the second diagram, colour five more squares so that the new pattern
                     has rotational symmetry f order 4.
