Maths: I am learning about the properties of

angles

Angles are all about points. We use them in every day life to make things fit together, to measure turns and to work out the properties of shapes.

There are 4 types of angles that we need to know. Have a look around the room you are in. Create a tally chart to see which angle you can find the most of in 5 minutes.

Right angle Reflex angle Obtuse angle Acute angle

Which angle was the most common? Why do you think this is?

We are going to start by looking at angles as turns.

The Turning GameStand up and face forwards write down what you are looking at. Now act out each of these turns, what do you see each time you turn? (Tip it won’t be the same as your facing forwards view)Now ask someone in your household to either tell you how many degrees to turn or what view you should see and you tell them how many degrees you have turned. Remember to keep it in blocks of 90’ or right angles.
