Planning tool

Students:

• describe angles as measures of turn
• compare and order angles of different sizes.

Some students may:

• believe that the size of the angle is related to the length of the lines. Demonstrate that if the angle ‘arms’ are longer, the size of the angle itself does not change. Use a model that joins two lines of different length and extend the length of each line to show that the angle does not change.

The Learning from home activities are designed to be used flexibly by teachers, parents and carers, as well as the students themselves. They can be used in a number of ways including to consolidate and extend learning done at school or for home schooling.

Learning intention

• We are learning how to identify different angles using a clock face.

Why are we learning about this?

• Angle measurements are used in reading time on an analogue clock.

What to do

1. Open this clock face image. Use the clock face to work out the new times when the minute hand is moved by an amount of turn.

2. Write the time when the minute hand is moved by the amount of turn.

3. Create a table to describe your results. Draw the new time in the table.

4. Write two times of the day. Draw each time on a clock face. 

Success criteria

I can:

• describe amount of turn using a clock face
• compare the size of angles between the arms of a clock for familiar times.
