In order to complete rotation questions, you will need to make sure that you know the difference between clockwise and anti-clockwise movements.


Question
Question
- Does shape A, B, C or D complete the pair?


Start with the complete pair
Start with the complete pair
- The first arrow shows the rotation of the inner shape you need to make in order to choose the correct answer.


Try rotating 90° anti-clockwise ❌
Try rotating 90° anti-clockwise ❌
- Rotating 90° anti-clockwise does NOT give the expected result. Let's try another rotation instead.


Try rotating 180° ❌
Try rotating 180° ❌
- Rotating 180° does NOT give the expected result. Let's try another rotation instead.


Try rotating 90° clockwise ✅
Try rotating 90° clockwise ✅
- Rotating 90° clockwise does give the expected result.


Consider the second pair
Consider the second pair
- We now need to rotate the inner shape in the second pair to work out which image completes the pair.

Rotating 90° clockwise
Rotating 90° clockwise
- By performing a 90° clockwise rotation, we can find the image which completes the pair.

Give the correct answer
Give the correct answer
- Shape B is the correct answer as it matches the rotation of the inner shape.
