Year 6 Angles in a Triangle 3

This Year 6 Angles in a Triangle 3 lesson covers the prior learning of calculating internal angles of a triangle and vertically opposite angles, before moving onto the main skill of solving missing angle problems involving internal and external angles.

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 Objective
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
