Angles in a Turn

Angles in a Turn

Learning Objective

At the end of the lesson, you will be able to recognise angles as part of a turn.

Introduce the objective of the lesson and what students will be able to do by the end of it.

What do you already know about angles in a turn?

What is a Turn?

A turn is when an object changes direction. It can be a right turn or a left turn.

Explain what a turn is and the different types of turns.

What is an Angle?

An angle is the amount of turn between two lines that meet at a point.

Define what an angle is and how it is measured.

Types of Angles

There are three types of angles: acute, right and obtuse.

Explain the three types of angles and give examples.

Acute Angles

An acute angle is less than 90 degrees. It is like a sharp turn.

Show examples of acute angles and relate them to real-life situations.

Right Angles

A right angle is exactly 90 degrees. It is like a quarter turn.

Show examples of right angles and relate them to real-life situations.

Obtuse Angles

An obtuse angle is more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees. It is like a wide turn.

Show examples of obtuse angles and relate them to real-life situations.

Recognising Angles in a Turn

Angles can help us recognise the direction of a turn. A right turn has a right angle, while a left turn has two acute angles.

Explain how angles can help recognise the direction of a turn and give examples.

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
