Classification of Angles

-

Hello! Today we are going to look at the concept of an angle and the types of angles. Angles are part of our daily life, some examples can be:

-Corners of a room: The corners of a room form right (90-degree) angles, which are important for furniture design, object layout and general construction.

-Clocks: Clocks show angles through the hands. For example, the hour hand.

-Directions and maps: Angles are used to indicate directions on a map. For example, when you are told to turn 45 degrees to the left, you are making a specific angle with respect to your current position.

 

Definition:

An angle is the portion of the plane between two ray lines that have a common origin. The ray lines are called sides and the common origin is the vertex. 






Types of angles


Acute angle: Measures less than 90° and more than 0°.






Right angle: It measures 90° and its sides are always perpendicular to each other. 








Obtuse angle: Greater than 90° but less than 180°. To learn all about obtuse angle.

Welcome to a new blog entry! Today we start an exciting journey through the world of geometric shapes. This blog is dedicated to all teachers who want new techniques and dynamics to teach geometry in an effective and interesting way. Get ready to learn how to turn your class into an unforgettable experience. I'm Marina, and this is my blog. Currently studying for a double degree in English Studies and Education Primary, my objective is to make learning geometry easy and enjoyable for students. As a future teacher, I believe that geometry is an essential part of a child's educational journey. It helps them develop spatial awareness, problem-solving skills, and critical thinking. However, I also know that many students struggle to understand and appreciate the beauty of geometry. That's why I'm here. I want to share my passion for geometry with you and provide you with innovative and engaging ways to teach this subject to your students. In this blog, you'll find a var...

Hi everyone! Today we are going to explain how to teach geometry for primary school students.  Geometry is a fundamental part of mathematics that acquaints primary school students with shapes, spatial relationships, and problem-solving. Teaching geometry successfully in the primary classroom can be rewarding through innovative and strategic methods. Here are several engaging techniques and useful resources to improve geometry instruction for young learners: Some activities to explore geometric concepts can be using manipulative resources such as pattern blocks, tangrams or geoboard as visualisation can be much easier to understand. On the other hand, technology can be very useful as it helps students to learn through games or interesting programmes.  Using real connections can also be very beneficial since, as we have seen throughout the blog, geometry is present in our daily lives. It can be very useful to explain concepts using real life examples.  Many teachers ar...

Hi everyone! Let's talk a bit about how geometry is integrated into architecture.  Geometry and architecture have been intricately linked throughout history, producing awe-inspiring structures that engage our imagination and senses. This entry delves into the captivating realm where geometry merges with architecture, highlighting how form and function coexist harmoniously. It is very important architecture because it guides the development of designs that are structurally robust, visually appealing, and functionally effective. Since ancient times, architects have utilized geometric principles to create timeless and iconic buildings. Some Examples of Geometry in Architecture: Sacred Geometry in Gothic Cathedrals : Gothic cathedrals, such as Notre Dame in Paris, demonstrate a profound connection with sacred geometry. Proportions like the golden ratio and the Fibonacci sequence are employed to craft magnificent and harmonious spaces. Symmetry in Classical Architecture : Classical stru...
