The Ministry is migrating nzmaths content to Tāhurangi.           
Relevant and up-to-date teaching resources are being moved to Tāhūrangi (tahurangi.education.govt.nz). 
When all identified resources have been successfully moved, this website will close. We expect this to be in June 2024. 
e-ako maths, e-ako Pāngarau, and e-ako PLD 360 will continue to be available.

Angle is the measure of turn. An understanding of angle begins with students exploring turning left and right, clockwise and anticlockwise. Students move on to measure angles and construct angles and shapes using protractors.

Level 1 Angle

Achievement Objectives Learning Outcomes Unit title
GM1-1
GM1-3
  • show a quarter turn and a half turn in a number of situations
  • see that two quarter turns equals one half turn
  • recognise the ‘corner’ of a shape that is equivalent to a quarter turn

Turns

Level 2 Angle

Achievement Objectives Learning Outcomes Unit title

GM2-1

  • understand clockwise and anticlockwise directions
  • understand that quarter half turns may be begun from any direction and not just from lines parallel to the classroom walls or other fixed lines

Clockwise

Level 3 Angle

Achievement Objectives Learning Outcomes Unit title

GM3-1

  • measure angles using degrees

Measuring Angles

  • identify and construct right, acute and obtuse angles
  • begin to appreciate the degree, unit of measurement of angle
  • know the degree value of angles that are simple fractions of a whole turn
  • know that the angle at a point is 360o

Simple Angles

Level 4 Angle

Achievement Objectives Learning Outcomes Unit title
GM4-1
 
  • identify angles in the environment
  • measure an angle using a protractor
  • use angles to travel at a bearing
  • anticipate the path of a ball as it bounces off a wall
  • use rotational symmetry to create a logo

All about angles

GM4-1
GM4-6
  • construct triangles with specified dimensions using two different techniques

  • name basic three-dimensional objects, especially those made with equilateral triangles

Building with Triangles

GM4-1
GM4-5
  • investigate the relationship between the diagonals and lengths of a rectangle
