Properties of Rectangles: Missing Lengths and Angles

Year 5 MathsGeometry3 pages

About this worksheet

Pupils use rectangle facts to find missing lengths and angles in this Year 5 maths recap. A quick check asks for a missing side and an angle, then written questions get pupils sharing their top tip, drawing their own missing-angle puzzle for the teacher to solve, and noting a question they still have. Answers are included. It practises three England National Curriculum angle and rectangle objectives.
