Varied Fluency

Step 7: Angles in a Triangle – Missing Angles

National Curriculum Objectives:

Mathematics Year 6: (6G4b) Recognise angles where they meet at a point, are on a
straight line, or are vertically opposite, and find missing angles

Differentiation:
Developing Questions to support understanding of calculating angles on a straight line,
angles around a complete rotation and vertically opposite angles. Includes angles
measured to the nearest ten degrees.
Expected Questions to support understanding of calculating angles on a straight line,
angles around a complete rotation and vertically opposite angles. Includes angles
measured to the nearest five degrees.
Greater Depth Questions to support understanding of calculating angles on a straight line,
angles around a complete rotation and vertically opposite angles. More missing angles
are included and shapes may be presented in different ways.
