Lesson Two – Compass Turns
This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to identify and describe some of the different angles that can be produced when making turns between a range of points on a compass.
The class can match and record the value of different angles to their corresponding names when plotted on a compass face for acute, obtuse and straight line angles.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to identify and describe some of the different angles that can be produced when making turns between a range of points on a compass
Activities in this teaching pack include a template to select and and record some of the angles of turn that can be found between different points on a compass and a set of differentiated worksheets to record the value of angles between pairs of points on a compass for acute, obtuse and straight line angles.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore some of the angles that can be produced when making different turns using a compass.
This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to identify, classify and record the value of different types of acute, obtuse and straight line angles using protractors. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
