P4 Maths Symmetry and Rotation Paper 1: Basics
Ten original items, each with an answer and a one-line explanation.
Direct answers Items 1-3 are basic, 4-6 intermediate and 7-9 challenge, with item 10 as the error review. Time yourself first, then check each answer and redo what is wrong.

03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4 | It folds onto itself along both diagonals and both mid-lines, so there are 4 lines. |
| 2 | 2 | Only the two mid-lines work; the diagonals do not, so there are 2 lines. |
| 3 | 1 | The line from the apex to the midpoint of the base splits it into two equal halves: 1 line. |
| 4 | 3 | Each vertex joins the midpoint of the opposite side, giving 3 lines. |
| 5 | 1 | One right angle is 90°, so 90° clockwise is 1 right angle. |
| 6 | 180 degrees | Half a turn is 180° either way, so it is 180 degrees. |
| 7 | 90 degrees | One full turn is 360°, and 360 minus 270 = 90 degrees. |
| 8 | 1 | It folds onto itself down the middle only, so 1 line. |
| 9 | It coincides exactly | A 360° turn is one full circle, so the shape lands back on the original. |
| 10 | No, it coincides with the original | A 360° turn is one full circle, so nothing is flipped; a 180° turn is what flips it. |
04 What to do after marking
- After marking, redo only the wrong items and write down which step went wrong (formula, unit, or misread number).
- Repeat the same item two days later; move to the next paper only when both attempts are correct.
- Parents only need the answer and note columns; there is no need to explain every item.
