Mathematics / Year 5 / Measurement and Geometry / Geometric reasoning

Curriculum content descriptions

Estimate, measure and compare angles using degrees. Construct angles using a protractor (ACMMG112)

Elaborations
  • measuring and constructing angles using both 180° and 360° protractors
  • recognising that angles have arms and a vertex, and that size is the amount of turn required for one arm to coincide with the other
General capabilities
  • Numeracy Numeracy
ScOT terms

Angles,  Degrees (Angles),  Accuracy and precision

Tessellating tiles

In this teaching resource students learn how to construct shapes that will tessellate (or tile) a plane area. Starting with a regular shape known to tessellate (square, equilateral triangle, hexagon), students apply geometrical transformations to the sides of the shape to create new shapes that tessellate. There are links ...
