Vertical angles are pairs of opposite angles formed when two lines intersect at a point. They are equal.

A vertex is the point where two or more line segments meet. The plural is vertices.

Two shapes are similar if the only difference between them is their size. Their side lengths are in the same proportions.

Supplementary angles are a pair of angles that sum to 180°.

Conjugate angles are a pair of angles that sum to 360°.

Securing understanding of angles from KS2

Maths

This unit gives pupils the opportunity to explore polygons and begin to generalise their understanding of interior/exterior angles in regular polygons. In the future unit, pupils will use the geometrical properties of a rhombus to perform various constructions

In this unit, pupils learnt how to calculate with angles at a point and angles on a straight line. In this unit, pupils extend their knowledge about angles in lines

Geometrical properties: polygons
