Maths – Angles

After a lovely Christmas break, we have come back this week with renewed energy and had a great week in Southern Europe! In maths this week, we have been learning about different types of angles. On Monday, we used two pieces of card and a split pin to make some ‘angle checkers’, which we used throughout this week in our lessons. We also learned about three different types of angles; right angles, acute angles (smaller than a right angle) and obtuse angles (bigger than a right angle). We used our angle checkers to show these angles.

On Tuesday, we learned about different types of shapes, triangles and quadrilaterals. We learned that a triangle is a shape with three sides and three angles, while a quadrilateral is a four-sided shape with three sides. We drew some of these in our books and used our angle checkers to see what kind of angles these shapes had. On Wednesday, we learned that a right angle is also a quarter turn. We used our angle checkers to find right angles in the classroom and to navigate a treasure map!

Finally, on Thursday and Friday, we learned some more about quadrilaterals. We learned that a rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles and two pairs of equal sides. We also learned that a square is a quadrilateral with four equal sides and four right angles.
