Using the sum of the interior angles of a triangle

Maths

This unit gives pupils the opportunity to explore polygons and begin to generalise their understanding of interior/exterior angles in regular polygons. In the future unit, pupils will use the geometrical properties of a rhombus to perform various constructions

In this unit, pupils learnt how to calculate with angles at a point and angles on a straight line. In this unit, pupils extend their knowledge about angles in lines

Geometrical properties: polygons
