OBJECTIVE

● Estimate, compare and classify angles,

using geometric vocabulary including
acute, right, obtuse and reflex.
HOOK
Show flashcards and ask the learners to identify the angles.
Examples of reflex angles
Engagement
● Before the lesson, ask the learners to place several
pieces of tape on their desks, so that they cross at
various points, to create a number of different angles.
● Challenge learners to find at least one acute angle, one
right angle, one obtuse angle and one reflex angle in
the diagram formed on their desks. Ask learners to
work in pairs to estimate the size of each of the angles.
Ask learners to explain to another pair how they know
their estimate is reasonable and what they could do to
be sure.
● Ask learners: How can you be sure about naming an
angle that is very close to being a right angle or very
close to 180º?
Plenary/ Exit ticket
● NRICH task: Olympic Turns (https://nrich.maths.org/8191 ) which
requires learners to estimate and classify angles.
● Lerners can create angle using their body parts.
