Types of angles (age 8+)
Use and interpret standard geometric diagram conventions: mark right angles with a small square, equal lengths with single or double tick marks, and equal angles with arc marks; label angles in three-letter notation (∠ABC) and individual angles with a single letter or number; draw diagrams showing angles at a point, angles on a straight line, and angles inside polygons with these conventions; read diagrams with these marks to identify given information and find unknown values
Typical age: 8–12 years
“If your child's maths diagram shows a small square in one corner and matching arc marks on two other angles, can they tell you what each mark means — and use them to figure out a missing angle without re-measuring?”

Finding unknown angles in polygons requires reading diagrams where known angles are marked with arcs and tick marks
- Right Angles & Turns
Identifying right angles and turns is supported by the convention of marking right angles with a small square
- Angle Sum RulesREQUIRED
Angle sum rules (360° at a point, 180° on a line) are applied through reading angle diagrams with correct notation
- Understanding angles (age 10+)REQUIRED
Angles at a point, on a straight line, and vertically opposite are identified through reading standard diagram notation
