Lesson Three – Compass Angles
This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to model and record how to use an angle protractor to identify and measure the angles of turns that can be found between the eight points of the compass.
The class can explain how to use the scale on a protractor correctly to measure the identified angles of turn on a compass to classify as right, acute or obtuse angles.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to model and record how to use an angle protractor to identify and measure the angles of turns that can be found between the eight points of the compass
Activities in this teaching pack include a template to model using a protractor to identify and measure angles of turns between the eight points of the compass and a set of differentiated worksheets to model how to use a protractor correctly to identify and measure angles of turns found on a compass.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to use a protractor to identify and measure angles of turns found between the eight points of the compass.
This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to explore and record the properties of different shapes by identifying, classifying and measuring a range of their matching angles. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
