4.1 Angles

Mathematics · Grade 7 · 8 lessons in the design

What this covers

  • Angles on a straight line: adjacent angles sum to 180°
  • Angles at a point: sum to 360°; vertically opposite angles
  • Angles on a transversal with parallel lines: corresponding, alternate and co-interior
  • Angles in a parallelogram
  • Interior-angle sum of polygons up to hexagon; (n − 2) × 180°
  • Interior and exterior angles related to the number of sides
  • Solving angles and sides of polygons up to hexagon
  • Angles in the environment: roads, roofs, clocks, furniture

What you will be able to do

  • relate different types of angles on a straight line in real-life situations
  • solve angles at a point in learning situations
  • relate angles on a transversal in different situations
  • solve angles in a parallelogram in different situations
  • identify angle properties of polygons up to hexagons in different situations
  • relate interior angles, exterior angles, and the number of sides of a polygon up to hexagons in different situations
  • solve angles and sides of polygons up to hexagons in learning situations
  • reflect on the use of angles in objects within the environment

Key questions
