Please create a worksheet on rotations - motions in geometry

This resource provides an introduction to the concept of rotation transformations in geometry. It covers the fundamental aspects of rotations, including the definition of rotation, the center of rotation, angle of rotation, and direction of rotation (clockwise and counterclockwise). The document includes real-world examples of rotations, such as Ferris wheels and clock hands, practice problems for identifying angles and directions of rotation, and rules for rotating points on the coordinate plane. It also details a three-step method for rotating shapes around points that are not the origin and includes various practice problems and self-reflection prompts to deepen understanding. The resource aims to help students apply their knowledge of rotations in both theoretical and practical contexts.
