Year 6 Maths Measuring And Classifying Angles

Year 6 have been learning how to measure an angle using a protractor. We had a lot of fun finding the origin on the protractor, understanding where to place it on an angle, and also whether to read the outer scale or the inner scale on the protractor to measure the angle. We also learned about angle classification, including acute, obtuse, right, straight and reflex angles.
