About Types of Angles

What this skill is

Types of angles classifies angles by degree measures: acute (<90 degrees), right (exactly 90 degrees), obtuse (>90 and <180 degrees), and straight (exactly 180 degrees).

When children learn it

Angle classification is taught in 3rd through 5th grade, aligned to 4.G.A.1.

Teaching Tips

  • Use an index card corner to test if an angle is smaller than, equal to, or larger than a right angle.
  • Associate acute with a cute little angle.

Common Mistakes

  • Misclassifying angles that sit near 90 degrees without testing with a right-angle square.
  • Confusing acute (small) with obtuse (large).
