Properties of shape - Turns and angles - Worksheet

The "Turns and Angles" worksheets are designed to enhance children's understanding of how angles are associated with turns. Within these exercises, students are encouraged to practice making fractional turns such as ½, ¼, ¾, and full turns from various starting positions. These turns are executed in both clockwise and anti-clockwise directions, and the tasks are set in practical contexts to aid comprehension. Children are instructed to both follow and give directions using accurate mathematical terminology. The worksheets also reinforce the concept that an angle is formed where two straight lines converge at a point. Through a series of exercises, students practising on these sheets will gain proficiency in determining the outcomes of turns from one point to another and selecting the correct answers from provided options.

Further activities on the "Turns and Angles" worksheets involve drawing the resulting position of an arrow after it has completed a specified turn, such as a quarter turn clockwise or a full turn anticlockwise. Students are also asked to determine the new direction they are facing after executing turns from the North point, and to identify the necessary turns to orient an arrow towards specific objects. Additionally, they are tasked with ticking images that showcase an angle and calculating the new time after the minute hand of a clock has turned. These exercises serve to build fluency and precision in understanding turns and angles, culminating in problem-solving questions where students decide which of two statements about the turn made by an arrow is correct, and count the number of angles present in capital letters of their names. The variety of tasks ensures that children can apply their knowledge in different scenarios and deepen their grasp of geometric concepts.
