📐 Part 1: Angle Types - ANSWERS

ANSWERS:

• 45° = Acute angle (less than 90°)

• 90° = Right angle (exactly 90°)

• 135° = Obtuse angle (between 90° and 180°)

• 180° = Straight angle (exactly 180°)

ANSWERS: Book corners, door frames, window frames, desk corners, whiteboard corners

ANSWER: 120° is bigger than 60°

Teaching tip: Use visual aids - show students with your arms or use a protractor

🧭 Part 2: Compass Directions - ANSWERS

ANSWERS:

• Top = North (N)

• Right = East (E)

• Bottom = South (S)

• Left = West (W)

Memory trick: "Never Eat Soggy Weet-bix" (clockwise from North)

ANSWERS:

• 000° = North

• 090° = East

• 180° = South

• 270° = West

ANSWER: East

Have students physically turn their bodies to reinforce learning

🗺️ Part 3: Real-World Applications - ANSWERS

ANSWER: Northeast (halfway between North and East)

045° = 45° clockwise from North

ANSWER: Approximately 180° (due South) or between 160°-200°

Accept any reasonable answer between 160°-200°

ANSWER: Arrow should point Southeast (halfway between South and East)

135° = 135° clockwise from North = Southeast

📋 Teaching Notes & Differentiation

• Use GPS apps to find bearings to local landmarks

• Research how pilots and ship captains use bearings

• Create a treasure hunt using compass bearings around school

Visual Learners: Use large compass rose, coloured arrows, physical compass

Kinaesthetic Learners: Body movements, walking compass directions, hands-on protractor use

Support Needed: Provide compass reference sheet, use 45° increments only (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW)

Assessment Adaptations: Allow verbal responses, use multiple choice instead of written answers

• Confusing clockwise/anticlockwise direction

• Starting from wrong reference point (not North)

• Mixing up acute/obtuse angle names

Address these through explicit teaching and repeated practice
