The first few pages with the "my letter" tables allows students to access their own knowledge of what the word rotation would mean. Give them roughly two minutes to fill in as many boxes as they can with rotations of their letter. Do not provide assistance to them. After the time is up, have them meet with anyone else - I usually do people with the same letter - and they can compare the rotations that were created and fill in more of their boxes, if needed.

After words, the following pages allow them to develop their knowledge of what we need to know in order to create a rotation (degree of rotation, direction of rotation, and point about which we rotate the shape) and practice applying and actually creating rotations.
