Describing Turns

A turn is a rotation around a point. We measure turns in fractions of a full circle (360°).

Types of Turns

  • Quarter Turn: 1/4 of a circle = 90° (like a right angle)
  • Half Turn: 1/2 of a circle = 180° (facing opposite direction)
  • Three-Quarter Turn: 3/4 of a circle = 270°
  • Full Turn: Complete circle = 360° (back to start)

Memory Trick

Quarter = Like cutting a pizza into 4 slices
Half = Like cutting a pizza into 2 slices
Full = Complete circle, back where you started!

Right Angles

A right angle is exactly 90°. It looks like the corner of a square or rectangle!

📋 Identifying Right Angles:

Square

4 right angles
All corners are 90°

Rectangle

4 right angles
All corners are 90°

Right-Angled Triangle

1 right angle
One corner is 90°

Common Mistake

A right angle is ALWAYS 90° – don’t confuse it with acute (less than 90°) or obtuse (more than 90°) angles!

Watch: Identifying & Drawing Angles in Shapes

Now watch this video to learn how to identify and draw angles in shapes. Pay attention! 🎯

Identifying & Drawing Angles in Shapes

Angles are formed where two lines meet. Let’s learn to identify and draw them in shapes!

Types of Angles

  • Acute Angle: Less than 90° (smaller than a right angle)
  • Right Angle: Exactly 90° (like a square corner)
  • Obtuse Angle: More than 90° but less than 180° (bigger than a right angle)
  • Straight Angle: Exactly 180° (a straight line)

📊 Angles in Common Shapes:

Triangle

3 angles
Total = 180°

Quadrilateral

4 angles
Total = 360°

Pentagon

5 angles
Total = 540°

Hexagon

6 angles
Total = 720°

📋 How to Draw Angles:

Step-by-Step Guide
  1. Draw a straight line (this is one side of the angle)
  2. Mark the vertex (where the angle starts)
  3. Use a protractor to measure the angle
  4. Mark the degree on the protractor
  5. Draw the second line from vertex through the mark
  6. Label the angle

Memory Trick

Acute: A cute small angle (less than 90°)
Obtuse: An obese big angle (more than 90°)
Right: Just right at 90° (like a square corner)
