estimate, construct and measure angles in degrees, using appropriate tools, including a protractor, and relate these measures to angle names
Elaborations
using a protractor to measure angles in degrees and classifying these angles using angle names; for example, an acute angle is less than 90°, an obtuse angle is more than 90° and less than 180°, a right angle is equal to 90° and a reflex angle is more than 180° and less than 360°
estimating the size of angles in the environment using a clinometer and describing the angles using angle names
using a ruler and protractor to construct triangles, given the angle measures and side lengths
using a protractor to measure angles when creating a pattern or string design within a circle
recognising the size of angles within shapes that do and do not tessellate, measuring the angles and using the sum of angles to explain why some shapes will tessellate and other shapes do not
