8 lessons
Bearings on the Cartesian plane
In this lesson, we will further develop our skills on bearings, in particular, focusing on the importance of starting location.
Bearings on Polar Grids
In this lesson, we will look at bearings at angles other than multiples of 45. Using polar coordinates, angles presented are multiples of 15.
Bearings on isometric grids
In this lesson, we will look at bearings on isometric paper and explore using bearings and distances to make directions.
Bearings with angle facts
In this lesson, we will use basic angle facts to solve problems with bearings.
Bearings within parallel lines
In this lesson, we will use angles in parallel lines to solve problems with bearings.
Bearings: Rotating scalene triangles
In this lesson, we will apply lots of different angle facts to tackle bearings problems in scalene triangles.
Bearings within regular polygons
In this lesson, we will apply knowledge of angles in regular polygons to solve problems with bearings.
