Grade 3 Angles Unit – 5x Lesson Plans | Australian & Victorian Curriculum Aligned

Transform your students' understanding of angles with this engaging and curriculum-aligned Grade 3 Angles Unit. Featuring five sequential lesson plans, daily math talks, fluency tasks, and hands-on activities, this unit helps students confidently explore angles in real-life contexts—including time, direction, and movement. All resources are aligned with the Australian and Victorian Curriculum, with explicit links to key outcomes in geometry and measurement.

What Students Will Learn

Students will explore angles as a measure of turn and as geometric features, developing language and reasoning skills to identify, compare, and describe angles in various contexts—especially through links to direction and time.

Lesson Sequence

• Lesson 1: Understanding Right Angles
• Introduce right angles in sporting images and our environment using visual prompts.
• Lesson 2: Comparing Right Angles
• Identify and compare angles found in shapes to right angles; begin using terms like "greater than" and "less than" a right angle.
• Lesson 3: Types of Angles
• Classify angles as acute, right, or obtuse; hands-on tasks help students sort and draw each type.
• Lesson 4: Angles as Turns (Directions)
• Connect angles to directional language such as clockwise, anticlockwise, quarter turns, and more.
• Lesson 5: Creating Directions – Links to Time
• Students apply angle knowledge to create and follow directions using time-based movement (e.g., quarter turn = 15 minutes).
