A full turn is one complete rotation around a fixed point, ending with an object or direction in the same orientation in which it began, whether the rotation is clockwise or anticlockwise. It can be recognized as two half turns or four quarter turns, supporting comparison of turns and later understanding of angles; formal degree measurement and calculations with arbitrary angles are not included.
A full turn is one complete rotation around a fixed point. When the turn is finished, the object points the same way and has the same orientation as when it started.
You can make a full turn by:
Example: An arrow starts pointing up. It turns clockwise one quarter turn four times.
The arrow is now pointing in the same direction as at the start. Therefore, it has made one full turn.
A full turn can also go anticlockwise. The important thing is that the object makes one complete rotation and ends in its starting orientation.
