Recognise right angles and perpendicular/parallel lines
Recognise angles as a property of shape or a description of a turn; identify right angles, recognise that two right angles make a half-turn, three make three quarters of a turn and four a complete turn; identify horizontal and vertical lines and pairs of perpendicular and parallel lines
What you'll learn
- 1
A right angle is like the corner of a piece of paper 📄 — it makes a perfect L-shape!
- 2
What shape does a right angle look like?
- 3
Use the angle maker to make a right angle — turn it until it looks like an L.
- 4
Let's check if this corner is a right angle. 📐
- 5
Two lines that make a right angle are called perpendicular lines — like the edges of this window 🪟.
- 6
What do we call two lines that make a right angle?
- 7
Parallel lines always stay the same distance apart — they never meet, like train tracks 🚂.
- 8
Which is true about parallel lines?
