Introduction to Angles (Right, Acute, Obtuse)
Students will identify and classify angles as right, acute, or obtuse in shapes and the environment.
Key Questions
- Differentiate between a right angle, an acute angle, and an obtuse angle.
- Explain how to find examples of different angles in the classroom.
- Construct a shape that contains at least one of each type of angle.
