Forming and Solving Equations Involving Angles (B) WORKSHEET
Suitable for Year groups: Year 8, Year 9
GCSE Tier: Foundation
Targeting grades: 1-3
Prerequisite knowledge: Solving one and two step equations and equations with unknowns on both sides. Using angle facts to calculate missing angles: around a point, on a straight line, in a right angle, and vertically opposite angles.
Forming and Solving Equations Involving Angles (B) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Develop students’ understanding of different angle facts by applying them to solve a series of increasingly challenging problems with this worksheet. The problems require students to apply rules for angles around a point, angles on a straight line, and angles in a right angle, building their ability to form and solve equations from geometric figures.
In the first section, students are asked to match pairs of angle facts, reinforcing foundational knowledge such as angles on a straight line summing to 180° and vertically opposite angles being equal.
Following this, the worksheet presents a series of diagrams where students must first state the angle fact they will be using, then form an algebraic equation, and finally solve for the unknown value.
