1 approach
Angle Sum Rules 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 or beans; Paper and pencil for recording sums. Adult models 7 + 5 with counters, then writes the sum. Child builds three addition problems with counters and records each sum. Done: three correct sums with counters matching the written numbers. Stop after the fresh check; keep optional challenge for another day.

Check understanding
- State that two angles on a straight line add to 180°
- Explain that four right angles at a point make 360°
- Identify 270° as three right angles
“If three angles meet at a point and two of them are 120° and 95°, can your child work out the third angle — knowing all the angles at a point add up to 360°?”
