A loop draws the sides, and the turns share one full circle of degrees.
Forward moves the turtle ahead and draws a line. Right turns the turtle on the spot, in degrees.
Ninety degrees is a quarter circle, like the corner of a book.
A loop draws the sides. The number in range is the number of sides.
Walking all the way round is one full circle, 360 degrees, and the turns share it out: each turn is 360 divided by the number of sides.
These are some of the questions on the sets. The printable sheets have more and an answer key.
90 degrees. A square has four sides, and 360 / 4 = 90.
120 degrees. A triangle has three sides, and 360 / 3 = 120.
A hexagon. Six sides and a turn of 60 make a hexagon.
45 degrees. 360 / 8 = 45.
True. The same full circle is shared by more turns.
Ask a grown-up to call out: walk four big steps, then turn a quarter turn, and repeat that four times. You will have walked a square! Then try a triangle, with a third of a turn each time, and mark your path with chalk if you can.
Play the Mission together: call out walk four big steps, then turn a quarter turn, and repeat four times so your child walks a square. Then try a triangle with a third of a turn each time, and mark the path with chalk if you can.
