I just need to quickly say that I may be coaching sailing this summer. It's not for a school and I do not have any formal teaching background.
My question is: What is a good substitute for describing angles?
Or at what level do children know about fractions? I will need to use up to 1/8 at least, ideally 1/12.
And what level do children know how to read a analogue clock?
If these children haven't learnt either of these things yet, how do you suggest I teach them angles in a simple way?
The ages are all over the spectrum including adults, although they will be divided by age group and skill level. I'm still trying to figure out what to do for the youngest groups.
