A simple line diagram with circles to represent plates and triangles to represent napkins, shows how the place settings on the doll's house dinner table are an example of rotation, with each setting rotated onto the next by a 90 degree turn about the centre of the table.

Rotation

This diagram shows rotation about two different points on the table in Maureen Roffey's doll's house. The dot shows the point of rotation each time. Left shows how the plate and napkin would appear if they were rotated from the centre of the table. Right shows how the plate and napkin would appear if they were rotated about the point in the centre of the object (plate).
