Angles and parallel lines: Year 6 – planning tool
This planning resource for Year 6 is for the topic of Angles and parallel lines. Students explore angles on a straight line and angles within shapes. They identify the relationships between angles and use these to determine unknown angles and describe their reasoning. Students should be familiar with 90° and 180° angles, as well as other angles such as acute, obtuse, and reflex.
