Angles worksheet

This engaging worksheet, created by KS2Gems, is designed to help students grasp the concept of measuring and classifying angles. It commences with Activity 1, where children are provided with a protractor and separate resources containing various angles. They are tasked with measuring these angles to the nearest degree and then categorising them based on specific criteria such as acute or obtuse angles. A creative variation suggests using intersecting masking tape on tables to form angles for hands-on measurement.

Subsequent activities build on this foundation. In Activity 2, students are given cards with numerical degrees, rulers, and protractors, which they use to accurately draw the specified angle. They then swap their drawings with a partner for verification. Activity 3 involves a quick-fire challenge where a degree card is shown, and pupils must identify the type of angle on their whiteboard, sharing their answers simultaneously to facilitate a group discussion on any misconceptions. The objective of these activities is to ensure that students understand angles are measured in degrees and can estimate, compare, draw, and measure acute, obtuse, and reflex angles. Further activities include using geoboards and elastic bands to represent angles, engaging in physical movement to understand angles in a large space, and creating educational posters or raps about using a protractor. The worksheet also includes drawing tasks involving polygons with specific angles, enhancing the practical application of angle measurement and classification.
