Properties of Shape - Measure Angles in Degrees - Worksheet

Children are tasked with the study of measuring angles in degrees, a fundamental aspect of geometry. The worksheet encourages students to explore various types of angles, including acute, obtuse, right, straight, and reflex angles, with reflex angles being introduced for the first time. Through a series of exercises, they will compare angles to a right angle and complete sentences to describe the relative size of the angles. For instance, they will determine whether the angle made by the turn from one hour to another on a clock face is smaller, larger, or equal to a right angle, and identify whether it is an acute, obtuse, reflex, or right angle.

The worksheet also involves reasoning and problem-solving activities where students must identify the odd angle out from a given set and solve true or false questions related to angle measurements. They are encouraged to think critically about the characteristics that differentiate each angle and to consider multiple reasons why an angle may stand out from the rest. Additionally, the worksheet includes practical exercises such as drawing clock hands to represent specific times and determining the angle between them. This hands-on approach helps students to visualise and better understand the concepts of angle measurement and comparison.
