Lenses

A lens is a custom view of the content in the repository. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see content through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

What is in a lens?

Lens makers point to materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

Who can create a lens?

Any individual member, a community, or a respected organization.

What are tags? tag icon

Tags are descriptors added by lens makers to help label content, attaching a vocabulary that is meaningful in the context of the lens.

9. LET US REVISE

When lines are joined, angles are formed.

9.1 Work in groups of three. See which group can state the kind of angle in each diagram!

.2 Estimate the sizes of the following angles. Then measure them carefully with your protractor and complete the table.

c) 196°

d) 216°

9.5 REMEMBER!

The size of an angle is determined by the amount of rotation there is around the fulcrum.

11. BRAIN-TEASER!

What is the smallest number of straight lines that can be used to join the dots below WITHOUT lifting up your pencil?

(Can you do it with three lines?)

12. ANGLES AND NAVIGATION

12.1 Did you know?

In navigation and aviation, direction is always determined in terms of the angle which is made by the route (clockwise) with the north line.

i.e. we measure in degrees, the amount of turning from north.

Line to the route in a clockwise direction.

The north line is 0˚.

A bearing is always indicated with three digits. A bearing of 26˚ is written as 026˚.

12.2 Look carefully at this magnetic compass. A compass needle always points to north. Now write down the following directions in degrees.

Assessment

Learning Outcome 4: The learner will be able to use appropriate measuring units, instruments and formulae in a variety of contexts.

Assessment Standard 4.8: We know this when the learner classifies angles into acute, right, obtuse, straight, reflex or revolution;

Assessment Standard 4.9: We know this when the learner estimates, compares, measures and draws angles accurate to one degree using protractors.

Learning Outcome 3: The learner will be able to describe and represent characteristics and relationships between two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional objects in a variety of orientations and positions.

Assessment Standard 3.8: We know this when the learner locates positions on co-ordinate systems (ordered grids) and maps.
