Measuring Angles
Measuring Angles
• 3 meters
• 55 meters
• 36 meters
• What units do we use when measuring
angles?
Task 1
• Children work individually to draw an angle of
67° on paper using a ruler, protractor and
pencil.

Task2
• Ask children to draw an angle of 155°,
labelling it clearly. Children swap paper with a
partner and use their protractors to measure
each other’s angles to check.
Model using a protractor.
Assessment
What kind of angle is this?
Day 3
• To recognise and identify angles that are
multiples of 90°
• To recognise that angles on a straight line total
180° and angles round a point total 360°
Starter
How long is each film?
‘guess the angle’
• Children play a game called ‘guess the angle’
in pairs. They will draw lines and angles and
guess it then measure them.
• Model drawing a horizontal line on the board
and another line at an angle to this part way
along the line. Measure both angles labelling
them clearly.
• Ask children to add the angles together
showing the total is 180°.
Rule
• Angles on a line add to 180°.
• Angles around a point add to 360°.
Plenary
• Ask children to prove angles on a line always
total 180°.
Day 4 P…69, 70
LO: Identify and name parts of a circle including
diameter, radius and circumference
Draw circles to a given radius using a pair of
compasses
Starter: find the missing angles on each
line, using Frog to count up.
Parts of a circle
Is it easy to measure the diameter?
Use a string to measure the circumference of the circles.
• Compasses

Short Task
• Use the compass.
• Draw a circle with a radius of 6·5 cm.
• Say how long the diameter is and check it with
a ruler.
