Looking for the Right Angle...

In our Maths lessons this week, we have been starting to look at angles, shapes and symmetry.  Today, we have been learning all about angles.  Angles occur when two straight lines meet: if the lines never meet, or if one or both of the lines is curved, then this does not form an angle.

We have been looking at angles today: right angles (which have 90 degrees), obtuse angles (which are larger than 90 degrees) and acute angles (which are smaller than 90 degrees).  Mrs Vaqueiro showed everyone how to make a right angle checker, and then we moved around the classroom trying to find as many different right angles as possible.  There were surprisingly many!
