Homonym: rotations (Spins)
A rotation is a movement that turns an object around a central point or axis. Imagine spinning a basketball on your finger; the ball rotates around your finger, which acts as the axis. In geometry, we often rotate shapes, like a triangle or a square, to see how they change position while keeping their size and shape the same.
In everyday life, rotations can be seen in many places, such as the Earth spinning on its axis, which causes day and night. Similarly, the hands of a clock rotate around the center, helping us tell time as they move in a circular path.
