Y6 Maths
Year 6 Vertically Opposite Angles
This Year 6 Vertically Opposite Angles lesson covers the prior learning of calculating angles on a straight line and around a point, before moving onto the main skill of recognising that vertically opposite angles are equal in size.
>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.
