To engage higher ability children, they can complete the Hot Task (input) silently and independently while the rest of the class receives input. Differentiated activities include using angle eaters to measure and identify different types of angles, estimating and measuring angles on worksheets, and exploring the patterns and relationships between angles in different shapes. In the plenary, students will review the success criteria and reflect on their learning, sharing which part of the lesson was the easiest or hardest.
