Maths - compasses, protractors, angles!


We have been exploring shapes and angles. The students constructed triangles using protractors and compasses and we discussed the different types of triangles and angles. We explored how the interior angles of triangles always add up to 180 and exterior angles add up to 900.

Square challenge for parents
We had a challenge of drawing an accurate square only using a ruler, pencil and compass. This was challenging (for me too) but we had a few clever thinkers who managed it. Talk to Sophie if you can't work it out. There was some great learning around accuracy of angles and intersecting compass points.
