Clockwise is the direction that the hands of an analogue clock travel.

Anti-clockwise is the opposite direction to which the hands of an analogue clock travel.

Make different sized angles by rotating two lines around a fixed point

Maths

In this unit pupils will rotate two lines around a fixed point to make different sized angles. They will identify vertices. In the future unit pupils will investigate ways to compose and decompose polygons. They will investigate quadrilaterals with and without parallel and perpendicular sides.

In the prior unit pupils ordered and arranged combinations of objects in patterns and sequences. They consolidated understanding of whole, half, quarter and three-quarter turns, in terms of right angles, using mathematical vocabulary to describe position, direction and movement. In this unit pupils will rotate 2 lines around a fixed point to make different sized angles. They will identify vertices

Right angles

Hands on an analogue clock always rotate {{ }}. 

Angles are made when something rotates around a {{ }} point.

Match the start of the sentence to the end to make them true.

Order these angles from smallest to largest.

Match the start and end of the sentence to show what happened in the image.

This shape turned to the right. How far did it turn? {{ }} 

The shape made a turn. How far did it turn? {{ }}

This shape made a turn to the left.  How far did it turn?

Which of the statements are true for polygons?

All sides are the same length in both shapes

Here are two polygons. What is the same for both shapes?
