Securing understanding of angles from KS2
I can confidently state the sums of the angles around a point and on a straight line.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- The sum of angles at a point can be used to find missing angles.
- The angle sum of a straight line can be used to find missing angles.
- Vertically opposite angles can be used to find missing angles.
- The size of missing angles can be justified by using known facts.
Common misconception
Angles on a straight line sum to 180°
Angles on a straight line only sum to 180° if all of those angles share a common vertex. Show two angles "on a line" at different points.
Keywords
Vertical angles - Vertical angles are pairs of opposite angles formed when two lines intersect at a point. They are equal.
Vertex - A vertex is the point where two or more line segments meet. The plural is vertices.
Similar - Two shapes are similar if the only difference between them is their size. Their side lengths are in the same proportions.
Supplementary angles - Supplementary angles are a pair of angles that sum to 180°.
Conjugate angles - Conjugate angles are a pair of angles that sum to 360°.
