Properties of Shape - Compare and Order Angles - Worksheet

The worksheet on comparing and ordering angles is designed to enhance students' understanding of different types of angles. Through a series of tasks, children are encouraged to identify whether angles are acute, obtuse, or right angles. The activities require students to use an angle tester, which aids them in classifying angles and comparing them within various shapes and diagrams. The worksheet presents a progressive challenge; initially, students compare and order three simple angles, progressing to more complex figures with multiple angles, and finally, they are tasked with identifying all the largest angles and drawing comparisons between the largest and smallest angles.

In addition to the comparison tasks, the worksheet provides exercises aimed at developing fluency and precision. Students are asked to circle the largest angle in each shape or diagram and to label the types of angles they encounter. They also have to order angles from smallest to largest and vice versa. To further test their understanding, students are prompted to draw larger obtuse angles and smaller acute angles, as well as to label each angle correctly. The worksheet also includes reasoning and problem-solving challenges, such as drawing times on clock faces to find angles less than 180 degrees and ordering these angles from greatest to smallest. This comprehensive approach ensures that students not only learn to identify and categorise angles but also to critically analyse and compare them in different contexts.
