identify angles as measures of turn and compare angles with right angles in everyday situations

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a NAPLAN-year topic. Bloomi teaches it with a short explainer, guided practice, and NAPLAN-style questions — every one traceable to this exact code.

What this looks like in the classroom

• using quarter, half and three-quarter turns and comparing them to a right angle; for example, a quarter turn is the same as a right angle; a half a turn is greater than a right angle and is the same as \(2\) right angles; a three-quarter turn is greater than a right angle and is the same as \(3\) right angles
• recognising that right angles occur at the corners of many everyday objects; for example, books, windows, table tops and whiteboards
• identifying angles that are bigger than, smaller than and the same as a right angle in the environment; for example, opening doors partially and fully and comparing the angles created to a right angle
