Singapore Maths - Angles Lesson
Singapore Maths - Angles Lesson
Strand and sub-strand from the Australian Curriculum: Geometry and Shape
Year 4
Compare angles and classify them as equal to, greater than, or less than, a right angle (ACMMG089 -
Scootle )Compare angles and classify them as equal to, greater than, or less than, a
right angle (ACMMG089 - Scootle )
Year 5
Estimate, measure and compare angles using degrees. Construct angles using a protractor (ACMMG112
- Scootle )
Relevant parts of the achievement standard from the Australian Curriculum:
Year 4
- They classify angles in relation to a right angle.
Year 5
- They measure and construct different angles.
Differentiation (pre-core/core/extension/acceleration):
Extension
- See if students are able to find all 6 different types of angles
- Are they able to find the exact degrees on objects. (67 degrees, 134 degrees and 167 degrees)
Pre core
- Get students just to focus on greater then and less then 90 degrees (as year 4’s only need to reach
that benchmark).
Introduction: 5 minutes
- The introduction will be students using their mini whiteboards to
create different angles. The teacher will say a degree and then they
will need to create it and label it.
-The students will then also play Guess Who with a partner. Guess Who will
work by a partner asking closed questions about what type of angle it could
be.
Development: 10-15 minutes
- The teacher will then start going through the slides of the powerpoint. The
first slide is questions about what students already know about the
protractor. Students will discuss between themselves and then come back as
a class.
- The next slide is a video of how different professions use a
protractor. Students will then talk about how this may be important
for their job.
- The teacher will then give out a protractor to every student. So they are
physically touching one when I am going through how to use the
protractor properly.
- The teacher will then explain to the students how the protractor works,
keep referring to the video that has been watched so students can make the
connection.
- Get students to measure how many degrees their little whiteboards have.
Let students ask questions about the protractor.
- Then go through todays task of measuring objects in their environment.
Making sure students understanding the activity, students are able to work
in partners for this activity.
- Ask students by using their thumbs how much they understand the activity,
if students don’t understand how to use a protractor. Let them stay on the
floor with the teacher and the rest can go off to do the task.
Consolidation and practice: 20-30 minutes
- The students will then go on with the task that has been set for them. The
will have the Google slides that has the instructions and the table for them
to fill out.
- The other students that are struggling will stay of the floor with me and
we will work through using a protractor together. Then we will start
measuring objects as a little group to see how we are going.
- Once the students have got the processes sorted they can go off on their
own to complete the task.
