Subject Content:

Pupils should be taught to identify:
- angles at a point and one whole turn (total 360°)
- angles at a point on a straight line and a turn (total 180°)
- other multiples of 90°

Here are some specific activities, investigations or visual aids we have picked out. Click anywhere in the grey area to access the resource.

Estimating Angles Estimate the size of the given acute angles in degrees.

Angle Points Video See a demonstration of angles in a full turn around a point, angles together on a straight line and vertically opposite angles.

Angle Points Apply the properties of angles at a point, angles on a straight line and vertically opposite angles.

Angles Mixed Find the unknown angles by using the basic angle theorems.

Geometry Toolbox Create your own dynamic geometrical diagrams using this truly amazing tool from GeoGebra.

Angles Pupils should understand that angles represent an amount of turning and be able to estimate the size of angle. When constructing models and drawing pupils should be able to measure and draw angles to the nearest degree and use appropriate language associated with angles. Pupils should know the angle sums of polygons and that of angles at a point and on a straight line. They will learn about angles made in circles by chords, radii and tangents and recognise the relationships between them. Pupils will work with angles using trigonometry, transformations and bearings. In exams pupils are often instructed that while non-exact answers should be given to three significant figures, angle answers should be given to one decimal place.
