Angles in P6/5

In Maths, we have been learning all about angles.  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
