WHAT DO YOU
SEE IN THE
PICTURE?
EXPLORE:
DISCOVERY AND TACTILE LEARNING

1. Give each pair of students two pieces of cardboard and show them how to
connect them at their corners with a paper fastener (brad). This makes an
angle manipulative that students can use in order to form any type of angle.
2. Draw a picture of an acute angle and a picture of an obtuse angle on the
board, but do not label them.
3. Ask students to work in pairs to figure out which types of angles look more
like the first one on the board and which ones look more like the second
one.
4. Challenge them to find any angles that don’t look like either of them.
EXPLORE:
DISCOVERY AND TACTILE LEARNING
Students will likely discover that between 0 and 90
degrees, the angles seem to resemble the first (acute) angle,
and between 90 and 180 degrees, the angles seem to
resemble the second (obtuse) angle. They will also
discover that angles measuring 90 degrees resemble a right
angle.
Activity 1 – “Angles All Around”

A. Right angle
B. Acute angle
C. Obtuse angle
Identify whether the angle shown by the heavy
line is acute, right, or obtuse.

A. Right angle
B. Acute angle
C. Obtuse angle
Identify whether the angle shown by the heavy
line is acute, right, or obtuse.

A. Right angle
B. Acute angle
C. Obtuse angle
ACTIVITY 2 – “SIT-UPS”
To get kinesthetic learners more interested in these three types
of angles, you can have the students do sit-ups to make themselves
into the three types of angles.

obtuse angle acute angle

right angle
ACTIVITY 3 – “WASHI TAPE FUN”
The teacher will tape random straight lines across a whiteboard/desk
using washi tapes (masking tape will do). This creates lots of angles where
the tape overlaps. With learners armed with whiteboard markers, let them
classify angles as many as they could. They could take turns marking
angles on the whiteboard/desk.
ACTIVITY 4 – “INVESTIGATING ANGLES”
Learners will be asked to look for different kinds of angles in the
classroom. They are put into groups and given one of the following terms
on a card.
obtuse angle right angle acute angle

They may then use various formats, from drawing to the use of their own
body to showcase the term they were given. 

If possible, learners should take pictures and then create a collage with
PHoto Grid. Others may then view the collage to figure out what term the
group was trying to showcase. 
WRAP-UP
