Today Pac-Man arrived to help us with identifying angles with Mr Taylor.
We talked about what a right angle was as well as angles that are smaller called acute and angles that are bigger called obtuse.
We went outside into the playground with our Pac-Man to find where right angles are.
We had great fun and can’t wait to learn more about angles this week.
In Maths, we have been learning all about angles. Â There are different types of angles.
An acute angle is less than 90 degrees.
A right angle is 90 degrees.
An obtuse is more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.
A straight line is 180 degrees.
A reflex angle is more than 180 degrees but less than 360 degrees.
Today we went outside to draw and measure different angles. We used a protractor, ruler and some chalk. First we drew a horizontal or vertical line. We then lined up our protractor on the 0 line and lined up the circle with the line. We then choose what angle we wanted to draw and made a mark. Finally we then drew a line through that mark.
We made lots of different types of angles.
” I liked this because it was a different way to draw angles” – Eeman
” I liked doing this as we worked in pairs and checked other people’s angles to see if they were correct” – Carla
