A full turn is one complete rotation around a fixed point, returning an object or direction to its original orientation; it can be distinguished from a half turn or a quarter turn by how far the orientation changes. At this level, the idea is represented through circular movement, arrows, and familiar directions rather than degree measures or formal angle calculations.

Detailed Explanation: Recognize full turns
A full turn is one complete spin around a fixed point. After a full turn, the object points the same way it did at the start.
Example: An arrow starts pointing up. Make one full turn.
- Keep the arrow’s center in the same place.
- Turn the arrow around in a circle.
- Keep turning until the arrow points up again.
- The arrow has made one full turn because it has returned to its starting direction.
You can imagine the arrow pointing:
- up,
- right,
- down,
- left,
- and back to up.
The arrow has gone all the way around and is in its original position. That is a full turn.
