Maths No Problem: Textbook 5B Chapter 9 Geometry
Lesson 9: Investigating angles in squares and rectangles.
In Focus: You will need different sized squared and rectangular pieces of paper. What happens when you join the four corners? What shape does it make? When you add them together what do you get? As the rectangle has right angles it should look the same; is this correct? Will this rule work for the other quadrilaterals?
Do your shapes made out of the angles make 360º? Why is this? Are all your corner angles 90º? Pupils will need to explore the fact that even though the angles are not all 90º, the combined total still makes 360º.
In Focus: Follow Let’s Learn section to explore the corners and angles.
Guided Practice: Look at identifying 90º and 180º angles on quadrilaterals and using the information provided to find the missing angles.
Workbook: Complete Worksheet 9, pages 63 – 64.

Topic:
Making Natural Art:
The Woodland Trust have come up with a variety of activities to help keep children busy during this time. Art and crafts are a great way for the children to be creative and inspired by the natural world.
They suggest collecting fallen leaves, petals and sticks and use them to make a picture or sculpture. You could even use the objects as ‘stampers’ or paintbrushes – dipping them in paint and rolling, brushing or stamping them on paper to create interesting patterns and effects.
Don’t worry if you don’t have a great amount of materials readily available – just use whatever you can find. We would love to see any photographs of your wonderful creations!
