When I think about angles, I like to break them down into three easy types:
Acute Angles: These angles are smaller than 90 degrees. Imagine the sharp little point of a slice of pizza. It's pointy and kind of cute!
Right Angles: A right angle measures exactly 90 degrees. You can see these angles in the corners of squares and rectangles. They are the most common type of angle.
Obtuse Angles: These angles are a little more laid-back, measuring between 90 degrees and 180 degrees. Think of a comfy chair that leans back more than usual.
Learning about these angles makes it easier to see how they relate to shapes and even to things we see every day!
