1 approach
Measuring angles (age 9+) means practising the idea at the table with counters or paper models and one clear check. We will demo once, then your child tries.
Materials: 20 counters; Paper and pencil. Adult models 12 − 4 by removing counters, then writes the difference. Child solves three subtraction problems with counters and records each difference. Done: three correct differences with counters matching the writing. Stop after the fresh check; keep optional challenge for another day.

Check understanding
- Two angles on a straight line are 65° and x°; find x = 115°
- An angle is decomposed into 35° and 40°; state the whole angle is 75°
- Solve: angles at a point are 120°, 90°, and x°; find x = 150°
“If two angles sit next to each other on a straight line and one is 65°, can your child work out the other angle — knowing that angles on a straight line always add up to 180°?”
