Maths Investigation- Angles in a Triangle!

Year 6 have been learning about angles- drawing and measuring using a protractor and solving mathematical problems involving angles and shapes.

Here are the children trying to find out how many degrees there are in different triangles- equilateral, isosceles, right angle and scalene.
