Maths No Problem: Textbook 5B Chapter 9 Geometry

Lesson 6 – Investigating Angles At a Point

Give your child time to look at the ‘in focus’ task.  It is asking you to draw two lines and see if they will cross each other.

Maths No Problem refers to angles with intials indicating each end point and the middle point of the lines, so LSAB means points S and B are at the end of each line and point B is in the middle at the point where the lines meet.

Let’s Learn: page 85 – 87 – Follow Ruby’s steps and draw the angles in stages in your exercise book.

Guided practice: page 87 – practise more angle drawing in your exercise book.  Remember our tips discussed in clas:

  • line up the line on the protractor with the bottom line of the angle on the the page
  • make the point of the angle meet the middle point of the protractor
  • read from zero on the first line across the gap to meet the point at the end of the second line of the angle

Workbook: Complete Worksheet 6: Pages 57 – 58

Topic:

With all this lovely weather but nowhere to go, it is getting pretty frustrating!

But have no fear, follow this link to find information on museums which are offering virtual tours online.  Visit the Great Court of The British Museum, the artwork in The Guggenheim Museum and the archeology in the National Museum of anthropology in Mexico City!

Why not have a go at a scavenger hunt around your house or in your garden?  You could ask your adults to set you a scavenger hunt, or you could set one for them!

Some ideas are:

  • an alphabet hunt – find things which begin with every letter of the alphabet
  • a shape hunt – find things of different and unsusal shapes
  • a colour hunt – as above but with colours
  • any mixture of textures; something fluffy, something made of wood, something spiky
  • items related to a book or a film of your choice; star wars toys/items of clothing a character would wear

We would love to hear about what you find, or any unusual hunts you have set each other!
