A right angle is the same as a quarter turn.

watch the video below for some useful tips! Do not worry about carrying out the tasks this teacher is setting but the information is very helpful!

Remember:

1. A right angle is the same as a quarter turn.
2. 2 right turns make a half turn.
3. 3 right angles make three-quarters of a turn
4. 4 right angles make a complete/whole turn.
5. Our lines do not have to go up and down (vertical) or side to side (horizontal) to be a right angle. This is what we are going to explore today!

Look at the problem above, can you solve it?

As I mentioned earlier our lines do not have to be vertical or horizontal to be a right angle. Can you make and right angles using a clock where there are no hands pointing to the 12,3,6 or 9? 

You may not want to use your families clock for this task so you could draw a clock face and use different items to make the hands!

Task

For this week's task I would like you to create a right angle checker following the instructions below. You do not need to print this image out but you can find a circle around your home to draw around and follow the instructions that way!

You will be left with a shape like this:

Use this angle checker to find items that have a right angle. To do this you need to alight the straight edges of your checker to an item. If the lines match with your item you have a right angle!

Make a list of things that are right angles in your home! Can you find any in your garden?
