A degree is a unit of measure for angles.

Know that the angles in a full turn sum to 360 degrees and use this to solve problems

Maths

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.
