Angles in Triangles and Polygons (including Tessellation): GCSE Maths Specification and Awarding Body Information
Boring, but hopefully useful. Links to the relevant section of the GCSE Maths Specification, together with information and resources from each of the Awarding Bodies.

An overview of the GCSE Maths learning objectives that relate to this particular topic area. The expectation is that:
- All students will develop confidence and competence with the content identified by standard type
- All students will be assessed on the content identified by the standard and the underlined type; more highly attaining students will develop confidence and competence with all of this content
- Only the more highly attaining students will be assessed on the content identified by bold type. The highest attaining students will develop confidence and competence with the bold content.
- G3
- Apply the properties of angles at a point, angles at a point on a straight line, vertically opposite angles; understand and use alternate and corresponding angles on parallel lines; derive and use the sum of angles in a triangle (eg to deduce and use the angle sum in any polygon, and to derive properties of regular polygons).
