LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
By the end of the lesson, students will learn to:
Define and identify angles.
Differentiate between acute, obtuse, and right angles.
RESOURCE MATERIAL:
Board and marker

Workbook 4A
Worksheets
Clear Definitions:
Introduce the concept of angles, explaining that an angle is formed when two rays or line
segments meet at a common endpoint called a vertex.
Define key terms: vertex, arms, acute angle, obtuse angle, and right angle. Use diagrams to
illustrate these terms.
Show different examples of angles (acute, obtuse, and right) and discuss their characteristics.
Angle Types:
Present different types of angles: acute angles (less than 90 degrees), obtuse angles (more
than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees), and right angles (exactly 90 degrees).
Measurement:
Introduce the protractor as a tool for measuring angles. Show them how to read angles on a
protractor.
Provide practice worksheets or interactive protractor activities where students measure angles
of different objects or shapes.
Real-Life Applications:
Connect angles to everyday life by discussing how they appear in various situations. For
example, the angles on a soccer field, in the classroom, or on road signs.
Conclusion:
Review the key concepts covered in the lesson: angle definition, types (acute, obtuse, right),
and measuring angles with a protractor and have students share what they've learned.
Discuss how angles are found in everyday objects and shapes.
Assign homework or additional practice worksheets if necessary.
INTEGRATION WITH OTHER SUBJECTS:
Science
Introduce angles in the context of natural phenomena. For example, discuss how the angle of
sunlight affects the length of shadows at different times of the day and in different seasons.
BRIDGE:
To bridge the concept of angles with previous math topics, it's important to draw connections
between angles and line segments, geometry basics.
ACTIVITY:
Conduct hands-on activities to reinforce understanding:
Have students create their own angles using craft sticks or straws and label them. Use
string to form angles and measure them with a protractor.
Play angle scavenger hunt in the classroom or schoolyard, where students find objects
with different types of angles.
HOMEWORK:
Practice measuring angles using a protractor.
Find examples of angles in your home or neighborhood and classify them as acute,
obtuse, or right angles.
CLASS WORK:
Copy: questions related to Measuring Angles
Workbook: 109 - 114
ASSESSMENT:
Monitor student participation and engagement during class activities.
Review completed worksheets and protractor measurements for understanding.
NOTES:
What is an Angle?
An angle is a figure formed by two rays or line segments that share a common endpoint
called the vertex.
Angles can be found everywhere in our daily lives, from the hands on a clock to the
corners of a book.
Parts of an Angle:
1. Vertex: The common endpoint where the two rays meet.
2. Arms: The two rays or line segments that form the angle.
Types of Angles:
1. Acute Angle: An angle that measures less than 90 degrees. It's like a sharp corner.
2. Obtuse Angle: An angle that measures more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.
It's wider than a right angle.
3. Right Angle: An angle that measures exactly 90 degrees. It looks like an "L" shape.
Measuring Angles:
We measure angles in degrees (°). To measure angles accurately, we use a tool called a
protractor.
To measure an angle, place the protractor's center on the vertex, align one side with one
arm of the angle, and read the number where the other arm crosses the protractor.
Real-Life Examples:
1. Clock Hands: The hands of a clock form different angles as they move.
2. Book Corners: Most books have right angles at the corners.
3. Street Signs: Stop signs, yield signs, and street signs often have octagonal (8-sided)
shapes with angles.
Angles in Shapes:
Angles are important in geometry to describe and classify shapes.
For example, squares and rectangles have four right angles, while triangles have three
angles.
Summary:
Angles are formed when two rays or line segments meet at a common endpoint (vertex).
There are three main types of angles: acute, obtuse, and right angles.
Angles can be measured in degrees using a protractor.
Angles are found in everyday objects and shapes.
Angles can have special relationships, such as complementary, supplementary, and vertical
angles.
Understanding angles helps us describe and work with shapes in geometry.
