Learning objectives/outcomes: England: NNS Y6:
Shape and space 111: Recognise and estimate angles; Use a protractor to measure and draw acute and obtuse angles to the nearest degree.
NC KS2:
Understanding measures 4c: Recognise angles as greater or less than a right angle or half turn, estimate their size and order them; measure and draw acute, obtuse and right angles to the nearest degree. Northern Ireland: Mathematics: KS2: Position, Movement and Direction: Pupils should have opportunities to...
a) understand the notion of angle in the context of turning; understand clockwise and anti-clockwise; know the eight points of the compass.
c) recognise properties of acute, obtuse and reflex angles. Scotland: Shape, position and movement: Level C:
Angles: Know that a right angle is 90 degrees; use "right, acute and obtuse" to describe angles; know that a straight angle is 180 degrees.
Level D: draw, copy and measure angles accurately within 5 degrees.
Additional information: Megahops: There are five angles to measure in this activity and a total of 15 megahops can be awarded. If the player measures an angle correctly on the first try, they get three megahops, if correct on the second attempt they get two megahops and third time; one point. Related activity information: This activity is the second in a series of five levels which practise angles and turns right up to the point where you need to estimate and measure any angle within 360 degrees.
