Understanding angles and their properties for year 7 forms the foundation of geometry education, covering essential concepts from basic angle types to complex polygon properties.

• The module comprehensively covers angle types (acute, right, obtuse, reflex) and their measurements
• Special attention is given to identifying different types of triangles with examples, including right-angled, isosceles, and equilateral triangles
• Students learn about parallel line angles, including corresponding, alternate, and co-interior angles
• The content extends to calculating interior angles in polygons for beginners and understanding regular polygon properties
• Advanced concepts include quadrilateral properties, scale measurements, and Pythagoras' theorem

Page 2: Triangles, Quadrilaterals, and Polygons

This page explores triangle properties, polygon classifications, and methods for calculating interior angles in various shapes.

Definition: A polygon is a 2D shape with straight edges only, and it's considered regular when all sides and angles are equal.

Highlight: Triangle interior angles always sum to 180°, while quadrilateral interior angles sum to 360°.

Example: Triangle types include:

  • Right-angled triangles (one 90° angle)
  • Isosceles triangles (two equal sides and angles)
  • Equilateral triangles (all sides and angles equal)
  • Scalene triangles (all sides and angles different)

Vocabulary: Polygon names are based on their number of sides:

  • Pentagon (5 sides)
  • Hexagon (6 sides)
  • Heptagon/Septagon (7 sides)
  • Octagon (8 sides)
  • Nonagon (9 sides)
  • Decagon (10 sides)

Page 3: Quadrilateral Properties

This page details the properties of various quadrilaterals, including squares, rectangles, rhombuses, parallelograms, kites, and trapeziums.

Definition: Each quadrilateral type has unique properties related to:

  • Side lengths
  • Angle measurements
  • Parallel sides
  • Diagonal relationships
  • Symmetry
  • Rotational properties

Example: A square has:

  • Four equal sides
  • Four right angles
  • Opposite sides parallel
  • Diagonals bisecting at right angles
  • Four lines of symmetry
  • Rotational symmetry of order four

Highlight: The properties of special quadrilaterals build upon each other, with squares having the most properties and trapeziums having the least.

Page 4: Scale, Bearings, and Pythagoras' Theorem

This page covers practical applications of geometry, including scale drawings, bearings, and the Pythagorean theorem.

Definition: Scale represents the ratio between model dimensions and actual dimensions, while map scale shows the ratio between map distances and real-life distances.

Vocabulary: Bearings are measured clockwise from North and must be expressed in three digits.

Example: Pythagoras' theorem states that a² + b² = c² in right-angled triangles, where:

  • a and b are the shorter sides
  • c is the hypotenuse (longest side)

Highlight: The compass direction acronym "Never Eat Shredded Wheat" helps remember the clockwise order: North, East, South, West.

Page 1: Basic Angle Concepts and Parallel Lines

This page introduces fundamental angle concepts and their properties. The content begins with basic angle classifications and notation methods, progressing to more complex angle relationships.

Definition: Angles are classified into four main types based on their measurements: acute (<90°), right (90°), obtuse (>90° but <180°), and reflex (>180° but <360°).

Vocabulary: Angle notation can use either single lowercase letters (e.g., 'a' or 'x') or three uppercase letters (e.g., BAC).

Highlight: Angles around a point sum to 360°, while angles on a straight line sum to 180°.

Example: Parallel line relationships include:

  • Vertically opposite angles are equal
  • Alternate angles are equal (Z-pattern)
  • Corresponding angles are equal (F-pattern)
  • Co-interior angles sum to 180° (C-pattern)
