Turns - Worksheet

The "Turns Worksheet" is a mathematics teaching resource designed to help students understand and practice the concept of turns and directions. The worksheet presents a series of challenges where students must determine the final facing direction of a man after completing turns of varying degrees and directions. The first part of the worksheet asks students to identify which colour circle the man will face after making quarter, half, three-quarter, and whole turns in both clockwise and anti-clockwise directions. This exercise encourages students to visualise rotational movement and understand the spatial changes resulting from different types of turns.

The second part of the worksheet involves a matching activity, where students draw lines to connect each wheel to the correct type of turn based on a 'before' and 'after' scenario. This section helps students to further grasp the concept of turns, reinforcing their ability to recognise and describe quarter, half, three-quarter, and whole turns in both clockwise and anti-clockwise directions. An accompanying answer sheet provides the correct matches, ensuring students can check their work and teachers can easily assess understanding. The worksheet is structured to build foundational geometry skills in a clear and engaging way, suitable for primary education.
