L1

1 hr
Place variety of angles on board; estimate as:
Less than 90° (acute)
90° (right)
90° - 180° (exclusive)
(obtuse)
180° - 360° (exclusive)
(reflex);
add names if known.(include different line lengths: see Plenary)
Use angle measurer;
distinguish between and estimate the size of acute, obtuse & reflex angles

angle
degree (°)
circle

acute
obtuse
reflex
right angle
estimate
measure

Give correct labels for angles in Starter if not known.
Using a selection of drawn angles, discuss
- what is an angle?
- -how to estimate angle
s- 2 very different angles can be recognised by eye;
- 2 very similar angles need to be measured;
- how to measure angles
Activity Suggestions:
Using a selection of angles:
a) name b) estimate c) measure
'What is an Angle? ( common misconception - where 2 lines meet )

Turnabout Activity:Ask class to stand; give series of instructions, such as right turn 90° ... left turn 180° ... left turn 270°..

L2

1 hr
Turnabout activity repeated, describing movements of different pupils

OR

Find 6 examples of parallel & perpendicular lines in the classroom
- Identify parallel & perpendicular lines; know the sum of angles at a point, on a straight line & in a triangle

- & recognise vertically opposite angles

parallel
perpendicular
angles on a straight line
angles at a point
triangle
circle
vertically opposite angles

Relate 1/2 turns, quarter turns, etc to angles of a 360² circle; extend to angles at a point & angles in a straight line.

Show that angles in a triangle add up to 180° by tearing 3 corners off any paper triangle and forming a straight line
1) Find missing angles in a series of diagrams, using rules concerning:
- the sum of angles at a point
- angles on a straight line
- angles in a triangle

2) Extend to diagrams including vertically opposite angles

3) Extension:
Angles on a Straight Line Using Algebra
Use a diagram containing at least 2 parallel lines; find missing angles.

Use to recap 3 rules& to highlight meaning of 'parallel'

L3

1 hr
1st quadrant on board / OHP
Identify co-ordinates on a grid in 1st quadrant
- Use conventions & notation for 2-d co-ordinates in all 4 quadrants; find co-ordinates of points determined by geometric information
axis, axes
coordinates
direction
origin
position
quadrant
x-axis
y-axis
x-coordinate
y-coordinate
All 4 quadrant on board / OHP
Identify co-ordinates in all 4 quadrants
1) Activities involving reading co-ordinates from a plotted shape

2) Activities involving plotting a shape from an ordered list of co-ordinates

3) Games, eg: Battleships
Review notations for co-ordinates:Which comes 1st, x or y co-ordinate?

Difference between(2, 3), (-2, -3), (-2, 3), (2, -3)?
