Stage 4

Angle relationships
Apply the language, notation and conventions of geometry
  • Use appropriate terminology and conventions to define, label and name points, Loading , Loading  and Loading  using capital letters

  • Identify and label the Loading  and arms of an Loading  with capital letters

  • Use appropriate conventions to label and name angles

  • Use common conventions to indicate right angles, equal angles and intervals on diagrams

Identify geometrical properties of angles at a point
  • Identify right angles, straight angles, angles of complete revolution and Loading 

  • Apply the terms complementary and supplementary to a pair of angles adding to 90°and 180°, respectively

  • Apply the term Loading  to a pair of angles with a common arm and common vertex

Identify and describe corresponding, alternate and co-interior angles when 2 straight lines are crossed by a transversal, including parallel lines
  • Identify and describe perpendicular lines using the symbol for is perpendicular to ()

  • Apply the common conventions to indicate Loading  lines on diagrams

  • Identify and describe pairs of parallel lines using the symbol for is parallel to ()

  • Identify and define Loading , including transversals of parallel lines

  • Identify, name and measure Loading  pairs, Loading  pairs and Loading  pairs for 2 lines cut by a transversal

  • Verify and identify corresponding angles and alternate angles as equal, and co-interior angles as Loading , when a pair of parallel lines is cut by a transversal

  • Justify that 2 lines are parallel by using properties of alternate, corresponding or co-interior angles on parallel lines

Solve numerical problems involving angles using reasoning
  • Apply the knowledge of angle relationships including angles at a point to find the sizes of unknown angles embedded in diagrams and give reasons

  • Apply the knowledge of angles associated with parallel lines to find the sizes of unknown angles embedded in related diagrams and give reasons
