Types of Angles: Acute, Obtuse and Right

Grades: 5th Grade, 4th Grade, 3rd Grade
Subjects: Math, Home Learning
Standards: Compare angles and classify them as equal to, greater than, or less than, a right angle (ACMMG089) (ACMMG.4.4.1.)

Student Instructions

1. Watch the video to learn how to recognise different types of angles. 2. Go to the link and practice your skills. upload your scores. 3. Complete the Think and Solve activities using any tool you like. 4. Use the Show It page to create something that demonstrates your understanding.

Teacher Notes (not visible to students)

This activity helps 4th graders identify and compare angle sizes relative to a right angle. Begin by showing the video and discussing visual cues for acute (< 90°), right (= 90°), obtuse (> 90° and < 180°), straight (= 180°) and reflex (> 180°). Use the Solve It pages for quick checks of understanding and the Show It frame for a creative assessment. Prepare a classroom corner with a paper square or index card corner for students to compare angles by eye and, if available, a classroom or digital protractor for measuring. For open-ended responses: a high-quality answer on Think About It names a specific idea learned (for example, “I learned a right angle looks like a square corner”) and poses a clear question (for example, “How do we measure a reflex angle without a protractor?”). For the Show It task, look for evidence that the student can correctly identify and label at least two angle types or demonstrate measuring/estimating; this could be a clear photo with labelled angles, a short video explanation, or a recorded drawing showing reasoning. Grade open responses simply as correct or incorrect based on whether the student correctly identifies and explains angle types or shows an accurate example.
