Key Knowledge that students should know at the end of 'Topic' This is the knowledge that students will meet for the first time in this topic 

This unit covers estimating, measuring, drawing and calculating angles. Students describe, classify and identify types of angles using clear vocabulary, and measure and draw angles accurately. Students revise facts involving angles around a point, angles at a point on a straight line and vertically opposite angles from experiences in primary school. Students will begin to generalise these angle facts. Students explore and clarify definitions of parallel lines and perpendicular lines, and use rules around corresponding, alternate and allied angles. This will be built upon and applied in the following unit when exploring properties of quadrilaterals. Students being to formulate equations to show relationships between angles using the angle facts that are introduced in this unit. This is first done numerically before introducing unknown angles. Through this, students begin to solve equations with one unknown.

This is knowledge that students may have met before but will need to deepen their understanding
