Thursday 14th May: Angles – Lesson 2

We know that a right angle measures 90 degrees and a straight angle measures 180 degrees.

Usually we would use a protractor to measure angles but if we know the angle is a right or straight angle then we can use a calculation to work out the angle size.  Sometimes these angles can be split to create smaller angles.  Here are straight angles split into smaller angles:

Task:

There are 2 chilli challenges for you to complete – Mild and Hot.  Have a go at calculating the angles without using a protractor.  Remember the information above to help you with your calculations.

Good Luck!

Quiz Night : Wednesday 13th May

I hope you have all established your rules.  Specific rules are important – they allow everyone to have the same understanding of what is allowed/not allowed.  Without your rules, you may have lots of questions and interruptions during your quiz.

Wednesday 13th May: Angles – Lesson 1

An angle is a measure of how one line is rotated onto another line (where the 2 lines join).  Angles are measured in degrees.  There are various names to describe angles, based on their sizes:

The curved/circular line in the angle examples show the size of the angle.  Sometimes a right angle is represented with a square rather than a curve.

Can you identify what the following examples are using the correct names:

acute, right, obtuse, straight or reflex

Reading for Enjoyment

 

Time to sit back, relax and curl up with a good book.  Pick a book or story that you want to read.  It may be a favourite novel, magazine, e-book, annual, fact book or reading a story to a sibling…anything goes!!!

  1. What would I rate this book out of 5?
  2. Would I recommend to a friend?
  3. What was my favourite part?
  4. Discuss your ‘3 sharings’ with someone at home.
