Learn By Heart - Angles

The latest Learn By Heart maths task is all about angles. We covered angles for a week earlier in the term so this revision exercise is perfect to keep those skills ticking over.

You'll need to be able to do the following;

  • Measure angles with a protractor
  • Calculate missing angles using your addition and subtraction skills
  • Know about the 4 different types of angles
  • Look at a mystery angle and be able to say what type of angle it is
  • Know that triangles all add up to 180 degrees on the inside
  • Know that 4 sided shapes always add up to 360 degrees on the inside
  • Draw angles of exact sizes using a protractor.

There are a fair few skills there but we've covered tem all before and if you find 10 minutes a day for the 3 weeks of the topic that's over 3 hours of practice. There are no short cuts i'm afraid, but the sense of achievement is priceless when we nail these tasks!
