Straight, reflex and revolution angles
Name, estimate and compare straight angles, reflex angles and revolutions alongside acute, right and obtuse angles, describing each by its relationship to a right angle (without measuring in degrees)
Lesson
Set out your lesson
“Straight, reflex and revolution angles means practising the idea at the table with counters or paper models and one clear check. We will demo once, then your child tries.”
Bring to the table
- Paper shapes or a ruler and pencil
- Shape name cards
Extra for the adult
Worked example. A rectangle has four right angles. Naming the property is the check.
Optional challenge. For Straight, reflex and revolution angles, add one harder example after success.
What to notice. Keep one parent note: examples tried; results; support used. This session samples Straight, reflex and revolution angles, not mastery.

Check understanding
- Identify a straight angle as two right angles and a revolution as four right angles
- Sort angles from a set of drawn shapes into acute, right, obtuse, straight and reflex
- Estimate whether an angle drawn between clock hands is less than or more than a straight angle
“If your child looks at the hands on a clock, can they say whether the angle between them is a straight line, smaller than a right angle, or bigger than a straight line (a reflex angle)?”
