Transformations Rotations - Geometry

The video tutorial introduces the concept of transformations in mathematics, focusing on rotation. It explains how rotation changes a shape's position around a center point, detailing the process with a 90-degree rotation example. The tutorial also provides tips for using tracing paper to perform rotations and explains how to find the center of rotation. The video concludes with a recap of key points and encourages further exploration of other transformations like reflections, translations, and enlargements.
