MATHEMATICS LESSON PLAN

Name: Alana Coppock School: Burton Primary School

Year Level: 6/7 Date: 21/8/18
No. of Students: 22 Estimated Duration: 100 minutes
Location: Burton

AREA OF LEARNING: Mathematics –Measurement and Geometry

TOPIC: Angles

BROAD OUTCOME:
Students will learn the six different angles and where to locate these angles in the real world. Students
will practice using a protractor.

SPECIFIC LEARNING OUTCOMES:

- Students to learn six different angles
- Students to relate angles to real world situations
- Students will practice using a protractor

LEARNING INTENTION:
To name and identify the six types of angles, and understand the range of degrees for each angle
SUCCESS CRITERIA:
- Name all six angles
- State the range of degree for all six angles
- Measure each angle to the nearest degree using a protractor
- Draw all six angles using a ruler
- Use the degree sign

AUSTRALIAN CURRICULUM:
Investigate, with and without digital technologies, angles on a straight line, angles at a point and
vertically opposite angles. Use results to find unknown angles (ACMMG141)
- Identifying the size of a right angle as 90° and defining acute, obtuse, straight and reflex angles
- Measuring, estimating and comparing angles in degrees and classifying angles according to their
sizes

PREPARATION/ORGANISATION:
- Protractors
 - Textbooks
- Rulers/Large whiteboard ruler for teacher to use
- Coloured pencils
- Pencils/pens

PROCESSES RESOURCES
ENGAGEMENT/INTRODUCTION:
10 minutes
- Mental maths activity: use arms to demonstrate different degrees, ask
students to name the degree as a whole class
- Introduce what an angle is – vertex, rays (arms) and the angle
 Draw this on the board to demonstrate – students to write in
their own books

EXPLORATION:
40 minutes
- Ask students how many different main angles are there? Answer: 6
- Ask students to raise their hand if they know any of these angles
- Acute, Right, Obtuse, Straight, Reflex and Full Revolution – write on the
board
- Only focus on 3 or 4 angles this lesson – acute, right and obtuse (start
with 3, potentially end the lesson with 1 more)
- Draw each angle on the white board – students copy into their books
- Ask students to name the degrees that relate to the particular angle

40 minutes
- Go outside into the school yard,
- Take the iPads and take photos in pairs of things around the school
yard that demonstrate the three angles taught
- Students to insert coloured arrows on the photos in a word document
to demonstrate the angles and then to print off and stick in their books
- Students can measure the angles with a protractor and write the
degrees of the angle in their books and state whether it is an acute, an
obtuse or a right angle

REFLECTION:
10 minutes
- Ask students to write a reflection in their books about what they learnt
and if they achieved the learning intention for the lesson
