Y6 Maths

Measure with a Protractor Lesson

This Year 6 Measure with a Protractor lesson covers the prior learning of measuring angles and calculating angles around a point, before moving onto the main skill of measuring angles with a protractor.
The lesson starts with a prior learning worksheet to check pupils’ understanding. The interactive lesson slides recap the prior learning before moving on to the main skill. Children can then practise further by completing the activities and can extend their learning by completing an engaging extension task.

National Curriculum Objectives
Mathematics Year 6: (6G2a) Compare and classify geometric shapes based on their properties and sizes
Mathematics Year 6: (6G3a) Draw 2-D shapes using given dimensions and angles
Mathematics Year 6: (6G4a) Find unknown angles in any triangles, quadrilaterals, and regular polygons
Mathematics Year 6: (6G4b) Recognise angles where they meet at a point, are on a straight line, or are vertically opposite, and find missing angles

Due to the nature of the questions on the worksheet, the Extension worksheet is not available in interactive format.
