Year 6 7 Angles Unit Plan

This document outlines an angles unit plan for years 6 and 7 that includes investigating different types of angles, classifying triangles and quadrilaterals, solving problems involving angles formed by a transversal crossing parallel lines, and using properties of angles to solve numerical problems. Key areas of focus are identifying different types of angles, classifying shapes according to their properties, investigating angle relationships such as corresponding and alternate angles, and demonstrating the angle sum of triangles and quadrilaterals. Assessment will involve an investigation task and questions requiring students to explain their problem solving process.

Year 6/7 Angles Unit Plan

Achievement standards:
Year 6:
• Solve problem using properties of angles
Year 7:
• Solve simple numerical problems involving angles formed by a transversal crossing
two lines
• Name the types of angles formed by transversal crossing parallel lines

Content descriptors:
Year 6:
Investigate, with and without digital technologies, angles on a straight line, angles at
a point and vertically opposite angles. Use results to find unknown angles (ACMMG141 -
Scootle )
Elaborations (lessons based around):
• Identifying the size of a right angle as 90° and defining acute, obtuse, straight and
reflex angles
• Measuring, estimating and comparing angles in degrees and classifying angles
according to their sizes
• Investigating the use of rotation and symmetry in the diagrammatic representations of
kinship relationships of Central and Western Desert people
• Recognising and using the two alternate conventions for naming angles

Year 7:
Classify triangles according to their side and angle properties and describe
quadrilaterals(ACMMG165 - Scootle )
Elaborations (lessons based around):
• Identifying side and angle properties of scalene, isosceles, right-angled and obtuse-
angled triangles
• Describing squares, rectangles, rhombuses, parallelograms, kites and trapeziums

Demonstrate that the angle sum of a triangle is 180° and use this to find the angle sum of
a quadrilateral (ACMMG166 - Scootle )
Elaborations (lessons based around):
• using concrete materials and digital technologies to investigate the angle sum of a
triangle and quadrilateral

Identify corresponding, alternate and co-interior angles when two straight lines are crossed
by a transversal (ACMMG163 - Scootle )
Elaborations (lessons based around):
• Defining and classifying pairs of angles as complementary, supplementary, adjacent
and vertically opposite

Investigate conditions for two lines to be parallel and solve simple numerical problems using
reasoning (ACMMG164 - Scootle )
Elaborations (lessons based around):
