This content descriptor sets out learning for Year 6 Mathematics. Use it to plan lessons and assessment with the Australian Curriculum v9.

Elaborations

  • • Elaboration using protractors or dynamic geometry software to measure and generalise about the size of angles formed when lines are crossed, and combinations of angles that meet at a point, including combinations that form right or straight angles
  • • Elaboration demonstrating the meaning of language associated with properties of angles, including right, complementary, complement, straight, supplement, vertically opposite, and angles at a point
  • • Elaboration using the properties of supplementary and complementary angles to represent spatial situations with number sentences and solving to find the size of unknown angles
