Hello my wonderful Grade 5 superstar! π
I'm Kashef and today we're learning about Obtuse Angles! Obtuse angles are bigger than a right angle (more than 90Β°) but smaller than a straight line (less than 180Β°). They look wide and open β like the mouth of a surprised fish or the bend in a hockey stick! Ready to explore big angles? Letβs go! π
π§ What is an Obtuse Angle?
An angle that measures more than 90Β° but less than 180Β°.
This wide angle is obtuse!
π Acute vs Right vs Obtuse
- Acute Angle β Less than 90Β° (small & sharp)
- Right Angle β Exactly 90Β° (perfect corner)
- Obtuse Angle β More than 90Β° but less than 180Β° (wide & open)
π Obtuse Angles in Real Life
π¦ The wide open mouth of a shark
π The angle at the top of a roof (sometimes)
βοΈ Scissors when opened wide
πΉ The bend in a boomerang or hockey stick

Kashef is super proud of you! You can now recognize obtuse angles and compare them with acute and right angles.
Obtuse angles are wide and open β they help make interesting shapes in our world!
