An angle is a measure of turn. It shows how far something has rotated.

A right angle is a square corner or a quarter turn.

An angle that is smaller than a right angle is an acute angle.

An angle that is greater than a right angle but smaller than a straight line is an obtuse angle.

An angle that is greater than a straight line up to a full turn is a reflex angle.

Use the terms acute, obtuse and reflex when comparing angles to a right angle

Reasoning about angles in polygons

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.
