Variables are in proportion if they have a constant multiplicative relationship.

A ratio shows the relative sizes of 2 or more values and allows you to compare a part with another part in a whole.

Problem solving with bearings

In the angles unit, pupils reasoned through more complex problems involving angles. In the bearings unit, pupils apply their knowledge of angles in order to calculate bearings and solve angle problems within the context of bearings.

Bearings

A scale factor is the multiplier between similar shapes that describes how large one shape is compared to the other.

A degree of accuracy shows how precise a number or measurement is.

A bearing is an angle measured in degrees from North in the clockwise direction and written with three figures.

A transversal is a line, line segment, or ray that intersects through two or more lines at distinct (different) points.

Corresponding angles are a pair of angles at different vertices on the same side of a transversal in equivalent positions.

Alternate angles are a pair of angles, both between or both outside two line segments, that are on opposite sides of the transversal that cuts them.

Co-interior angles are on the same side of the transversal line and in between the two other lines.
