Acute angle: Acute angles measure less than 90 degrees

Obtuse angle: Right angles measure 90 degrees.

Right angle: Obtuse angles measure more than 90 degrees.


ACTIVITIES YOU CAN DO AT HOME TO SUPPORT YOUR CHILD'S LEARNING

Look around your home and have a go at identifying types of angles. (Right angle, Acute angle and Obtuse angle). 

 

List the differences between each angle and have a go at drawing an example for each.
