Calculating angles
Calculate the value of the missing angles and then match them to their correct position. When you are finished, use the ‘Mark’ button to see if you are right.
Discussion points
- Does the length of the lines change the size of the angles?
- How many quarter turns are there around a point?
- What do angles on a straight line add up to?
- Which angles are acute, obtuse and right angles?
Teaching tips:
The guidance explains one example of how to work out missing angles on a straight line. Model an example of working out a missing angle at a point. These could be displayed at the front of the class for use when completing the activity alongside the calculations to go with them.
Stem sentences:
‘I know angles (at a point) add up to ______, so I can work out the missing angle by _______.’
‘I know vertically opposite angles are (equal), so the missing angle will be ______.’
