A degree is a unit of measure for angles.

To estimate is to find a value that is close enough to the right answer, usually with some thought or calculation involved.

Describe static angles using the standard unit of degrees when compared to a right angle

In this unit pupils will compare the size of angles where there is a clear visual difference and use the terms acute, obtuse and reflex when describing the size of angles or amount of rotation with relation to right angles using a unit called degrees. In the future unit pupils will use knowledge of shape properties to draw, sketch and identify shapes.

In the prior unit pupils completed and composed symmetrical shapes from two congruent shapes and investigate lines of symmetry in 2D shapes. In this unit pupils will compare the size of angles where there is a clear visual difference and use the terms acute, obtuse and reflex when describing the size of angles or amount of rotation with relation to right angles using a unit called degrees.
