Rotational Symmetry [roh-tey-shuh-nal sim-i-tree]
Noun
Rotational Symmetry is when you rotate a image/shape and yet it does not become distorted, therefore it retains its shape. How many matches (shape looks exactly the same when rotated) there are when turning the figure, is called the order. Depending on the figure it can have an order of 2, 5, 10 etc.
