Understanding that angles around a point add up to 360° and using this to find missing angles.
Where your child meets this in real life: Understanding pie charts, clock angles, or compass bearings
SEAGReady breaks angles at a point into 3 steps, taught in order so each skill builds on the last.

Find unknown angles when some angles at a point are equal
Three free sample questions from our angles at a point course. Every question comes with a full explanation, and hints that guide without giving the answer away.
The circle shown has one sector of 130°. What is the angle of the remaining sector?
Three rays meet at a point. The angles between them are 90°, 120°, and an unknown angle. What is the missing angle?
A circular garden is divided into four equal sections. What is the angle of each section?
This is the exact interactive worked example your child sees in SEAGReady. Step through it and watch the method build up.
Cara is looking at a pie chart showing how pupils travel to school. The 'walk' section takes up 145° of the circle.
What angle is left for all the other ways of travelling?
360° − 145°
Angles around a point make a full turn
Step 1 of 3
Cara is looking at a pie chart showing how pupils travel to school. The 'walk' section takes up 145° of the circle.
What angle is left for all the other ways of travelling?
The other ways of travelling take up 215° of the pie chart.
The key insight: A full turn around any point is always 360° - like going all the way around a clock!
Common mix-up: 180° − 145° = 35°. That's the rule for a straight line (180°), not angles around a point (360°).
These are the misconceptions we see most often in angles at a point, including the ones our practice questions are specifically designed to catch.
Struggling with angles at a point? The real gap is often in one of these earlier topics.
SEAGReady finds the exact step where your child gets stuck, teaches it with worked examples like the one above, and brings it back for review so it sticks.
