Maths
This week we will be looking at Angles and Shape.
There are five lessons to complete so work through them at your own pace completing as many as you can.
Lesson 1: To identify and recognise angles
In this lesson, we will look at what the word ‘angle’ means and begin to identify angles within objects and shapes.
Lesson 2: To identify angles in 2D shapes
In this lesson, we will review what an angle is and we will begin to explore various angles that are found inside 2-D shapes.
Lesson 3: To recognise right angles
In this lesson, we will be building on your angles learning and focusing specifically on right angles. We will explore these on their own, in shapes and in everyday objects.
Lesson 4: To recognise obtuse and acute angles
In this lesson, we will be building on our angle knowledge by introducing the terms acute and obtuse for those angles which are smaller (acute) and greater (obtuse) than right-angles.
Lesson 5: To revise angles
In this lesson, we will be revisiting our angles learning from this week. We will revise what is meant by right, acute and obtuse angles. We will then have an opportunity to identify these angles and draw them.
Science
Following on from our science lessons in school, we would like you to recap our work on bones (working through the lesson presentation) before completing the worksheet.
When completing the worksheet, choose the level that best suits you! 1 star is the easiest; 3 is the hardest.
Other activities you could do:
- Draw and label your own skeleton
- Make a skeleton at home using different materials – e.g cotton buds, sticks etc
