Polygon Investigation

 We used our number skills to work out missing angles from triangles. We started with an isosceles triangle and looked at its properties. After deciding on some rules - Isosceles triangles have 2 equal corners and 2 equal sides and angles in triangles always add up to 180degrees we were able to investigate the missing angles. We also looked at scalene triangles and right angled triangles.

Spellings for the test tomorrow.....

Can you draw your own map and hide some treasure? Your friend could follow some directions. How easy are your directions to follow?
