multiple choice
How many degrees is a quarter-turn?

90 degrees
A full turn is 360 degrees, so a quarter of it is 90 degrees.

multiple choice
An arrow points up, then right, then down. Which way is it turning?
- Clockwise
- Anticlockwise
- It is reflecting
- It is not turning
Answer
Clockwise
Up, right, down follows the hands of a clock, so the turn is clockwise.
12
multiple choice
Four panels are shown and the symbol turns a quarter-turn each time. Which way does the fifth symbol point?
- The same way as the first symbol
- The opposite way to the first symbol
- The same way as the fourth symbol
- It depends on the colour
Answer
The same way as the first symbol
Four quarter-turns make a full turn, so the fifth symbol returns to the first direction.
13
multiple choice
How do you know whether the turn is clockwise or anticlockwise?
- Compare where the tip points in panel 1 and panel 2
- Look only at the last panel
- Count the symbols in each panel
- Check which symbol is largest
Answer
Compare where the tip points in panel 1 and panel 2
Comparing two neighbouring panels shows which way the symbol turned.
14
multiple choice
An option points the right way but is a mirror image of the symbol. Is it correct?
- No, a reflection is not a rotation
- Yes, the direction is all that matters
- Yes, mirror images count as turns
- Only if the turn is clockwise
Answer
No, a reflection is not a rotation
A turned symbol can never become its mirror image, so a flipped option is always wrong.
