What is measures of turn?
A turn measures how far something rotates: a quarter turn is 90°, a half turn 180°, a three-quarter turn 270° and a full turn 360°, either clockwise or anticlockwise.
How to teach it
Act out quarter, half, three-quarter and full turns with the body, linking each to degrees (90°, 180°, 270°, 360°) and to clockwise vs anticlockwise.
