Max Maths, Year 4, Learn together, Angles (4)

In the Max Maths curriculum for Year 4, students are introduced to the concept of angles through a creative and visual approach, using the analogy of an ice-cream stick turning around a circle. When the blue ice-cream stick is observed to have turned three quarters of the way around the circle, students learn to identify and name this movement as a 'three-quarter turn'. This engaging method helps to solidify their understanding of angles and the terminology used to describe them.

Further exploration of angles is carried out by examining the blue ice-cream stick as it completes a full rotation around the circle. This movement is described as a 'complete turn', introducing students to the concept of a full 360-degree rotation. To reinforce these concepts and provide opportunities for practice, students are directed to workbook pages 54 to 56, where they can apply their knowledge and engage with exercises designed to enhance their understanding of angles and their practical applications.
