What are some different ways that my students can practice this in class?


  • Have your students measure angles around the classroom and classify them! Create an angle scavenger hunt where students have to find so many acute, obtuse, right, straight, and reflex angles.

  • Have your students use protractors to measure angles and classify them. They can draw angles on a piece of paper and trace with a classmate.

  • Check out digital games online like this measuring angles game.
