Angles- Year 6

Content descriptor
Investigate, with and without digital technologies, angles on a straight line, angles at a point and vertically opposite
angles. Use results to find unknown angles

Lesson 1 Learning intention- identify and group angles into acute, obtuse, right and straight.
Monday week 6 Know how to use a protractor to find the degrees in an angle
- Angles mind map/ group discussion (Warm Up)
- Grouping angles in pairs
- Modelling how to use a protractor
- Measuring and classifying angles worksheet–Pre-test
Stretch- Banana Hunt
Differentiation- give manipulatives and structured worksheets
Lesson 2 Learning intention- identify missing degrees in a triangle and accurately estimate the
Tuesday week 6 location of various degrees
- Reading angles marked on protractor (warm up)
- Modelling how to find missing angle on triangles
- Finding missing angles activity
- Banana hunt/ alien shooter game
Stretch- NAPLAN question (year 7)
Differentiation- manipulatives with higher modelling time
Lesson 3 Learning intention- accurately represent different angles using both a 180° and 360°
Wednesday week 6 protractor as well as understand the reflex angles or opposite angles.
- Missing angles on triangle (warm up)
- Looking at reflex angles
- worded question cards- groups or pairs
- Measure and draw an angle (random generator)
Stretch- intersectional angles (year 7)
Differentiation- simple angles, modelling. Include visual and verbal reminders of key
information. Allow calculators
Lesson 4 Learning intention- students can accurately represent a range of different angles
Thursday week 6 Warm up- complimentary angles on a straight line
- Check in- Formative assessment
- Problem solving questions
- https://www.khanacademy.org/math/basic-geo/basic-geo-angle/angles-in-
circles/a/angles-in-circles-word-problems
stretch- year 8 angles- missing degrees in right angles
differentiation- avoid worded problem solving questions, give simple problem solving
questions, allow calculator
Lesson 5 Learning intention- consolidate learned knowledge (interleave lesson) and use angle
Friday week 6 to measure shapes
- Angles in square (Warm up)
- Discuss check in- sent back already- focus on questions that need help
- 180 degrees in a triangle
- 360 in a square/rectangle
- Finding missing angles
**consolidation lesson, no new information but allow use of manipulatives and
resources**
Lesson 6 Learning intention- fluency with protractors
Monday week 7 - Complimentary angles warm up
- Draw your name using straight lines and measure all angles
Acute, obtuse, right, reflex, full rotation
- Stretch kids will use more complex angles (up to students to level at their
 ability)- Formative assessment
**rich task can be altered for different ability levels, monitor difficulty level of students
who will need assistance and alter work accordingly**
Lesson 7 Learning intention- understand corresponding angles on parallel lines
Tuesday week 7 - Measuring angles to 360 degrees (warm up)
- Finding corresponding angles- example on board (run through as a class)
- Introduce parallel lines
- How to find the corresponding angles (F)
Students individually answer a correspondence question -Formative assessment
Differentiation- work in pairs to allow for peer constructed learning (pair with student
who understands topic but is not too far ahead).
Lesson 8 Learning intention- develop deeper understanding for corresponding angles on
Wednesday week 7 parallel line- fluency
- Finding degrees in a full rotation/ problem solving- Warm up
- Review how to find corresponding angles (F)
- Working in groups to solve- modelling
- Finding angles worksheet
Stretch- problem solving triangles and game
Differentiation- this is above year 6 level, consolidation on key ideas through
simplified versions of classwork
