Are you looking for a fun math craft? This hands-on activity helps students explore half and quarter turns in a fun and meaningful way. Students assemble a colourful rocket and add astronauts rotating in different directions—then complete the sentence to describe the type of turn. It’s the perfect way to bring rotational language to life.
Perfect for introducing or revising types of turns, this resource includes:
Rocket craft pieces in both colour and black & white
Astronaut images that can be rotated and glued
A scaffolded worksheet version and open-ended cut-and-paste version
A focus on the terms: quarter turn and half turn
Great for maths rotations or even a maths display wall!
