Measuring & Constructing Angles
With your kind teacher Mrs. Brenda ❤️
Today we’re learning all about angles! We will discover different types of angles, how to measure them with a protractor, and how to construct them. Angles are everywhere — in shapes, buildings, and even when you open a door! Let’s become Angle Masters together! 📐✨
Acute Angle
Less than 90°
Right Angle
Exactly 90°
Obtuse Angle
Between 90° and 180°
Straight Angle
Exactly 180°
Tip: Always use the scale that starts from 0 on the side you are measuring!
Add up to 90°
30° + 60° = 90°
Add up to 180°
110° + 70° = 180°
Steps to draw a 60° angle:
Question 1
What type of angle is 45°?
Question 2
Two angles are complementary. One is 35°. What is the other?
Question 3
What is the measure of a straight angle?
• The slope of a hockey rink roof
• Clock hands (right angle at 3:00!)
• Road turns and intersections
• Roof of the CN Tower and many bridges
• Opening a laptop or a door
Fantastic work! You can now measure, name, and construct angles like a pro.
Keep looking for angles all around you — they make our world beautiful!
Love and proud high-fives,
