A protractor is an instrument used in measuring or drawing angles.

Use knowledge of shape properties to draw shapes accurately using rulers and protractors

Maths

In this unit pupils will use knowledge of shape properties to draw, sketch and identify shapes  In the future unit pupils will explain how to calculate the area of a parallelogram and a triangle and describe the relationship between scale factors and side lengths of two shapesThey will describe positions in all four quadrants drawing and translating simple shapes and reflecting them in the axes

In the prior unit pupils compared the size of angles with 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 this unit pupils will use knowledge of shape properties to draw, sketch and identify shapes

Draw, compose and decompose shapes

All angles exactly the same as each other.

Alex is plotting a triangle. Which angle has he started to mark out?

Which of these descriptions could be describing the interior angles of a quadrilateral?

The acute angle in this image is {{ }}°.

In special circumstances, they can be 3D shapes.

The interior angles can sometimes be right angles.
