Identifying & Naming Angles

Overview:

A cut and paste activity where students match each angle to its name and description, focusing on obtuse, acute, reflex, straight, and right angles. Designed for students in year 3, year 4 and year 5.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify and name different types of angles: obtuse, acute, reflex, straight, and right.
• Match angles with their corresponding names and descriptions.
• Develop a deeper understanding of the characteristics of each angle type.

How the Activity Works:

Students are provided with a set of angle images and descriptions. They cut out each image and match it to the correct name and definition from the list of angle types: obtuse, acute, reflex, straight, and right. For example, they would match a larger angle with the description of an obtuse angle, or a 90° angle with the description of a right angle. This hands-on activity helps students connect visual representations of angles with their mathematical definitions and properties.
