Understanding angles (age 10+)
Recognise angles where they meet at a point, are on a straight line, or are vertically opposite; find missing angles using these properties
Lesson
Set out your lesson
“Understanding angles (age 10+) 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 Understanding angles (age 10+), add one harder example after success.
What to notice. Keep one parent note: examples tried; results; support used. This session samples Understanding angles (age 10+), not mastery.

Check understanding
- Find a missing angle at a point given the other angles (total 360°)
- Use the straight-line property (angles sum to 180°) to find an unknown angle
- Identify vertically opposite angles and use the property that they are equal to find unknowns
“If two straight lines cross each other, can your child tell you which pairs of angles are equal (vertically opposite) — and find a missing angle if you give them one of the others?”
