In Maths we will be looking at angles. For this homework your child will need a protractor or can borrow one from the school
Measuring Up – Ask your child to find a variety of objects in his/her room, which have clear angles. He/she should then estimate the size before measuring the angle carefully with a protractor. He/she should then bring one of the objects, and the measurements, into class to show the class teacher.
Angle Hunt – Ask your child to have a look around the house and create a list all of the places they find angles. For extra challenge, he/she could note next to each angle whether it is acute, right, obtuse, straight or reflex. He/she should then bring their list to class to share with his/her teacher and classmates.
Challenge a Friend – Ask your child to use his/her knowledge of angles to design, write and illustrate a complex word problem for a friend, which he/she should bring in to school to give to a friend. For extra challenge, the problem could link to the current class topic.
