Using a ruler and a pencil, write your name in capital letters.
Hint! Only use straight lines – no curved edges.
Trace over your name with a texta.
Find and label all the angles in your name.
Hint! Can you find examples of right, obtuse and acute angles?
Challenge yourself to find reflex and straight angles.
If you have a protractor, measure the angles (e.g. Check that your right angles are 90°. You could also use the protractor to measure the size of acute, obtuse and reflex angles).
Example – drawing and labelling an angle

Explore:
Identify some examples of right angles around your house.
Record these in your workbook.
Right angle
Creating right angles:
How many right angles can you make out of 2 paddle-pop sticks?
Record these in your workbook.
How many right angles can you make with 3 paddle-pop sticks?
Record these in your workbook.
Example
Finding patterns:
Look at the table which shows the number of sticks and right angles.
What do you predict you will find if you use 4 paddle-pop sticks?
What do you predict you will find if you use 5 paddle-pop sticks?
What do you predict you will find if you use 6 paddle-pop sticks?
Investigate:
How many right angles can you make out of 4, 5 and 6 sticks?
Copy the table into your workbook and record your findings.
Table – number of sticks and right angles
Example – using 4 sticks to create right angles
Look at the table you have created.
What do you notice about the relationship between the number of sticks used and maximum number of right angles?
What is the same (or different) when you used an even number of sticks in comparison to an odd number of sticks?

Let's keep learning!
Taronga Zoo – Glider crossing
You will need:
pencils
a workbook or paper
Gliders are small possums with skin membranes, stretching between their front and hind legs, that enable them to glide through the air.
Squirrel Gliders are often mistaken for the more common Sugar Glider. The Squirrel Glider is larger, with a long, bushy tail and a long, pointed face. Their fur is usually a brown-grey colour, with a darker stripe on their head and down the back. They have a broad, bushy tail which is similar in colour to their upper body and has a distinctive dark tip.
Use the information above about the two types of gliders to drag the characteristics to the correct glider.
Select the blue 'Submit' button once you have moved all of the characteristics onto the correct picture.
Hint! Some characteristics are shared by both animals.
Watch the video to learn about Marley the Sugar glider.

Did you hear some words that you didn't understand? (select arrow)
habitat fragmentation – habitat is being split up by roads or development, such as buildings
nectar mix – a sweet liquid food mix which is similiar to the nectar of native blossoms, such as Grevillea and Bottlebrush
skin membrane – skin between the front and back legs to assist gliding
urbanisation – urban areas such as cities and towns growing.
Watch the video to learn about today's task which is to design a wildlife crossing.
Design a wildlife crossing
Duration:3:59
Draw a wildlife crossing for possums and gliders to use.
Use coloured pencils to add some leaves and native flowers to your design to make it more appealing to the animals.
Label the crossing with what you have included (e.g. leaves, Bottlebrush, rope, wooden poles).
Hint! Look at the picture of the wildlife crossing to help you get started.
