 Remember It
These pictures are showing fractions.

Can you name the fractions that the arrows are pointing to?

How do you know?

Each shape shows two equal parts.

The arrow is pointing to one of the two equal parts.
One of two equal parts is one half.
 Remember It
These pictures are showing fractions.

Which fractions are the arrows pointing to?

How do you know?

Each shape shows four equal parts.

The arrow is pointing to one of the four equal parts.
One of four equal parts is one quarter.
 Remember It
Each pizza has been cut into equal parts.

Click on each pizza. One slice will move onto a plate. Where will it go?

Half Quarter
 Clockwise
Which way will the hand on the clock move?
The hand is turning in a clockwise direction.
Can you show me?

What do we call this direction?

 Clockwise
Let’s stand up and practise moving in a clockwise direction.

Can you turn your whole body around in a clockwise direction?

Stop when you get back to your starting point.

 Clockwise
Now put one arm up to practise moving it in a clockwise direction.

Can you turn your arm in a clockwise direction?

Stop when you get back to your starting point.

Can you do this with your other arm?

 Clockwise
Follow the instructions and turn each body part in a clockwise direction.

Can you turn your foot in a clockwise direction?

Can you do this with your other foot?

 Clockwise
Follow the instructions and turn each body part in a clockwise direction.

Can you turn your hips in a clockwise direction?

Can you think of more body parts to move in a clockwise direction?

 Turn It
Use one finger to point up.
Make a quarter turn clockwise.
Does your finger match the position of the hand on the clock?.
 Turn It
Point up with your finger again.
Make a half turn clockwise.
Does your finger match the position of the hand on the clock?
 Turn It
Start with your arm above you.
Make a quarter turn clockwise.
Does your arm match the position of the hand on the clock?
 Turn It
Start with your arm above you.
Make a half turn clockwise.
Does your arm match the position of the hand on the clock?
 Turn It
Stand up and face the board.

What do you think you will see if you make a quarter turn clockwise?

What did you see? Were you correct?

 Turn It
Return to your starting position, facing the board.
What do you think you will see if you make a half turn clockwise?

What did you see? Were you correct?

 Make a Pattern
We can turn shapes to make patterns.

How would you describe the turns?

 Make a Pattern
We can turn shapes to make patterns.

Which shape will turn next?

Can you describe the turn?

 Make a Picture
We can turn shapes to make pictures.

How would you turn the shape to complete the picture?

The oval made a quarter turn.

 Make a Picture

 Aim
• To understand right angles

Success Criteria
• Statement 1 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
• Statement 2
• Sub statement
An angle is a measure of a turn
 Half Turn and Quarter Turn
We can use the language of ‘quarter turn’ and ‘half
turn’.

Quarter Turn Half Turn

 Things needed
• A4 sheet colour or white paper
• Scissors
• Glue
Draw the below shapes on paper and cut it out.
1. Write the below heading in your Math
notebook
Angles and turns
2. Stick the first triangle

Quarter turn

3. Stick the second triangle to show quarter turn.

 4. Stick the smiley face

Quarter turn

5. Stick the other smiley face and show quarter turn.

A quarter turn is called a right angle turn.
Quarter Turn
We use a special
symbol for right
angle
Angles are measured using
protractor.

Protractor
What is measured The amount of
rotation from the
starting point to
the end point

Protractor
Angles are measured using an
instrument called protractor.

Protractor
Angles are measured in degrees ( ͦ )

A RIGHT ANGLE IS 90 ͦ
Right angles or quarter turns
Find right angles in these shapes. Use the special symbol
 Aim
• To understand half turns and straight angles

Success Criteria
• Statement 1 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
• Statement 2
• Sub statement
Half Turn
Half Turn forms straight angles

A half turn is called a

straight angle

 Half Turn
How many quarter turns will be there in one half
turn?

Half Turn
 Half Turn
There are two quarter turns in one half turn
 Half Turn
We know that one quarter turn measures 90 ͦ.

Using this schema can you tell the measurement of a half

turn or straight angle?

90 + 90 = 180 ͦ
 Half Turn or Straight angle

A half turn or straight angle measures 180 ͦ

Right angles measure 90 ͦ

Straight angles measure

180 ͦ
 EXIT TICKET

position.

The arrow turned to the below positions. Write the angle of turn taken by
the arrow from the starting point.

______ angle turn ______ angle turn

different from a right angle?

Right angle
Is it more than a
quarter turn or less
than a quarter
turn?
Right angle

The angle is less than a right angle

or a quarter turn
 Look at the below angle. How is it
different from a right angle?

Right angle
Is it more than a
quarter turn or less
than a quarter
turn?
