Alternate angles are a pair of angles both between or both outside two line segments that are on opposite sides of the transversal that cuts them.

An interior angle is an angle formed inside a polygon by two of its edges.

An exterior angle is an angle on the outside of a polygon between an extension of an edge and the adjacent edge.

Problem solving with angles

Maths

In this unit, pupils applied their understanding of angles to solve increasingly complex problems. In the future unit, pupils will use their mathematical reasoning to derive and use various circle theorems. 

In the prior unit, pupils learnt how to identify corresponding, alternate and co-interior angles. In this unit, pupils use their knowledge of these angles to reason through and solve more complicated problems.
