TheSchoolRun.com closure date
As we informed you a few months ago, TheSchoolRun has had to make the difficult decision to close due to financial pressures and the company has now ceased trading. We had hoped to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.
As a result, we now have to permanently close TheSchoolRun.com. However, to give subscribers time to download any content they’d like to keep, we will keep the website open until 31st July 2025. After this date, the site will be taken down and there will be no further access to any resources. We strongly encourage you to download and save any resources you think you may want to use in the future.
In particular, we suggest downloading:
- Learning packs
- All the worksheets from the 11+ programme, if you are following this with your child
- Complete Learning Journey programmes (the packs below include all 40 worksheets for each programme)
You should already have received 16 primary school eBooks (worth £108.84) to download and keep. If you haven’t received these, please contact us at [email protected] before 31st July 2025, and we will send them to you.
We are very sorry that there is no way to continue offering access to resources and sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.
Angles around a point
A full turn is 360 degrees, so the angles around a point always add up to 360 degrees. Can you look at these diagrams and work out what the missing angles are, WITHOUT using a protractor?
What are angles in KS2 maths?
In KS2 (Key Stage 2) maths, angles are an important concept that your child will learn about.
An angle is a measure of the space between two lines that meet at a point, which is called the vertex. You can think of it like the corner of a room or the point where two roads cross. The size of an angle tells us how wide or narrow this space is.
What types of angles should KS2 children learn about?
- Right angles
These angles measure exactly 90 degrees and look like the corner of a square or a book. - Acute angles
This is an angle that is less than 90 degrees. It’s smaller and looks more pointy. - Obtuse angles
This type if angle is more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees. It looks wider or more open. - Straight angles
This angle is exactly 180 degrees, forming a straight line.
Your KS2 child will be taught that angles are measured in degrees (°). And a full circle is 360 degrees, so if you go all the way around a point, you’ve turned 360 degrees.
How will this angles worksheet help your child?
This teacher-created resource was designed to help your KS2 child understand how to calculate angles around a point. It is simple but effective and will build your child's confidence in their mathematical skills.
