Before measuring with precision, the children had to put on their detective hats to classify each turn, expertly identifying whether they were dealing with a "sharp" **acute** angle (less than 90°), a perfect **right** angle (90°), a wider **obtuse** angle (between 90° and 180°), or a massive **reflex** angle (greater than 180°). Lining up the baseline and reading the correct scale can be notoriously tricky, but the class tackled the challenge with fantastic focus and collaboration. By the end of the lesson, they weren't just guessing—they were measuring like true geometric experts. Superb work, Year 5! ### Year 5 Measuring Angles [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-measuring-angles/DSCF0814.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/year-5-measuring-angles/DSCF0814.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-measuring-angles/DSCF0813.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/year-5-measuring-angles/DSCF0813.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-measuring-angles/DSCF0812.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/year-5-measuring-angles/DSCF0812.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-measuring-angles/DSCF0811.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/year-5-measuring-angles/DSCF0811.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-measuring-angles/DSCF0810.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/year-5-measuring-angles/DSCF0810.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-measuring-angles/DSCF0808.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/year-5-measuring-angles/DSCF0808.JPG) [Year 5](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/year-5) [Maths](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/maths) [Math](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/citag/math) [KS2](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/citag/ks2) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/100x100c/blog/Ordering_and_Comparing_Numbers.JPG)](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2026-05-08-14-08-ordering-and-comparing-decimals) Previous ### [Ordering and Comparing Decimals](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2026-05-08-14-08-ordering-and-comparing-decimals) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/100x100c/blog/IMG_2698.jpeg)](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2026-05-19-16-04-the-great-bolognese-taste-test-year-5-turn-food-critics) Next ### [The Great Bolognese Taste Test: Year 5 Turn Food Critics!](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2026-05-19-16-04-the-great-bolognese-taste-test-year-5-turn-food-critics) ### School Life - [Brookside Blog ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog) - [News](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/news) - [Events](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/events) - [Photograph Galleries ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/photo-galleries) - [School Council](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/school-council) - [After-School Clubs ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/after-school-clubs) - [KIDZ Club](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/kidz-club) - [Calendar](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/calendar) - [Newsletters](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/information-for-parents/newsletters-2026-2027) - [Mental Health ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/mental-health) ##### Location Rostherne Avenue Great Sutton Cheshire CH66 2EE ##### Contact Us 0151 558 1123 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/groups/brooksideprimary/) © Copyright 2014–2026 Brookside Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
