Level 3 · Mathematics M3.5

Angles, triangles and symmetry

Work out missing angles, draw accurate triangles, and find symmetry in shapes.

Find missing angles on a line, round a point and between parallel lines. Show that a triangle has 180° and a quadrilateral 360°, and find the angles of any polygon. Draw triangles with ruler and compasses, cut an angle in half, find line symmetry and turning symmetry, and draw solids, nets and views.

For parents and teachers

For learners who can measure an angle with a protractor and know that a right angle is 90°. In many schools this fits children of about 11 to 13, and older learners who never met angle rules can start here too. Each chapter takes one or two short sessions. A learner needs a ruler, a protractor, a pencil and, for one chapter, a pair of compasses with a sharp point, so an adult should be near. Every exercise has its answer and the reason for it. Each chapter also has a short page for the adult, with three questions to ask.
