- To calculate missing angles you can use addition and subtraction.
- Use mental or written strategies to calculate with angles up to 180 degrees.
Common misconception
Pupils think that the angles on a straight line only applied to lines that are horizontal.
Ensure pupils are exposed to straight lines in a range of orientations, encouraging them to draw on the 180 degree angle and how this can apply to both sides of the straight line.
