Use knowledge of angles to solve calculations [G4]
Maths Resource Description
Students in Key Stage 2 are presented with a series of mathematical challenges that require the application of their knowledge of angles to solve calculations. These exercises, published by Buzzard Publishing as part of their CanDoSATs series for KS2, are designed to enhance students' understanding and proficiency in geometry. The problems involve deciphering codes made up of symbols and numbers, where students must use their understanding of angles and formulas to unlock the correct answers. These activities not only test their mathematical skills but also encourage logical thinking and problem-solving.
The tasks are set at varying levels of difficulty to cater to students with different abilities and to provide a comprehensive learning experience. This approach ensures that all students, whether they are just grasping the basics or delving into more complex concepts, can engage with the material effectively. The exercises are also aimed at preparing students for SATs by familiarising them with the types of questions they may encounter. By working through these problems, students become more adept at using geometric formulas and understanding the properties of angles, which are crucial skills in their mathematical development.
