Measuring angles (age 11+)
Your child can measure lines and angles accurately, and read a scale drawing. On a plan where 1 cm is 2 m, they find the real size.
In curriculum terms
Draw and measure line segments and angles accurately using ruler and protractor, and interpret scale drawings to extract real measurements
