Last week, Year 3 were learning to recognise right angles.
A right angle is the same as a quarter turn.
There are four right angles in a full turn.
This links directly to our Computing learning where we’ve been using quarter turns in our algorithms.
Many 2D shapes, or polygons as we’ve called them, have right angles.
Squares and rectangles have four right angles.
A triangle that has a right angle is called a right angled triangle.
We’ve also had a go at drawing different polygons, some with right angles and some without.
Help at home: Can you name the polygons we’ve drawn?
