Steps in this block
Step 1: Understand and use degrees
Use degrees for turns: full, half and quarter turns, clockwise and anticlockwise.
Step 1 · not scaffolded sheet with answersStep 2: Classify angles
Sort angles into acute, right, obtuse, straight and reflex, and decide which type an angle size is.
Step 2 · not scaffolded sheet with answersStep 3: Estimate angles
Estimate the size of an angle by comparing it with right angles and half turns.

Work through the steps in order. For each step, start the class on the Expected sheet and give Developing or Greater depth sheets where needed. Every worksheet has a separate answer sheet, so children can mark their own work or you can mark it with a marks column. Use the Make a sheet page, or the teacher guide, if you want to know more.
