Rotate around the origin

Track every labeled vertex through the stated turn, then join the image vertices in the same order.

Learning objective

What this activity builds

Rotate every vertex around the origin by the stated angle and direction.

Worked example

Rotate P(2, 3) 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin.

P′ = (-3, 2).

A 90-degree counterclockwise rotation maps (x, y) to (-y, x).

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Mark the origin as the center of rotation.
  • Apply the same rule to every vertex.
  • Check that the distances from the origin stay unchanged.

Six coordinate grids ask students to draw labeled rotations about the origin. Choose triangles, 4-sided polygons, boxes, or any nonempty combination.
