Properties of Shape - Angles on a Striaght - Starter

The 'Fluent in Four' revision section provides a series of exercises aimed at enhancing students' understanding of angles, fractions of a turn, and their degree measurements. This section includes a table that illustrates the degree measure of various angles, such as three right angles equalling 270 degrees, a full turn being 360 degrees, a right angle at 90 degrees, and a straight line representing 180 degrees. Additionally, students are tasked with solving mathematical problems such as dividing 54 by 9 and finding half of 984 divided by the sum of 2, 1, and 0. The exercises are designed to reinforce key mathematical concepts and ensure that students are fluent in their understanding and application of these ideas.

Further activities involve practical applications of mathematics, such as calculating the volume of a solid given that each constituent cube has a volume of 3 cm³. Students are also asked to write down the coordinates of specific points labelled A, B, and C on a coordinate grid, providing an opportunity to apply their knowledge of geometry and spatial awareness. The coordinates are given as (11,9) for point A, (3,8) for point B, and (7,4) for point C. These exercises are part of the Year 6 curriculum for the Summer Term, Week 3, Day 4, and are structured to help students master the curriculum by engaging with a variety of mathematical challenges.
