Grade 4 Math — Understanding elementary shapes
Classify angles by size, triangles by their sides and their angles, and tell flat shapes from solid ones.
Name: ________________________
Before you start
Four angles, drawn side by side and getting wider as you go. Find out what each one is called.
- 1. Acute
- 2. Right angle
- 3. Obtuse
- 4. Straight
Acute is under 90°, obtuse is over it, and the straight one is a half turn — 180°, which is why it stopped looking like a corner at all.
1.Put these kinds of angle in order by size, smallest first.
- Acute
- Obtuse
- Straight
- Right
- Reflex
2.The angles of a triangle add up to 180°. Two of them are 55° and 65°. How big is the third, in degrees?
3.This triangle has one right angle. Tap the corner where it is.
Write the number of the part.
4.Match each angle to the name for its size.
- 45°
- 90°
- 120°
- 180°
- 300°
- Obtuse
- Reflex
- Acute
- Straight
- Right
5.A full turn is 360° and splits into four equal right angles. How many degrees is one right angle?
6.All three angles of an equilateral triangle are equal, and they add up to 180°. How big is each one, in degrees?
7.An angle of 200° is which kind of angle?
- a) Obtuse
- b) Reflex
- c) Acute
- d) Straight
8.A triangle has sides of 5 inches, 5 inches and 8 inches. How many of its sides are equal in length?
Answer key — Grade 4 Math — Understanding elementary shapes
- 1. 1. Acute 2. Right 3. Obtuse 4. Straight 5. Reflex
- 2. 60
- 3. 2 — the bottom left corner
- 4. 45° → Acute; 90° → Right; 120° → Obtuse; 180° → Straight; 300° → Reflex
- 5. 90
- 6. 60
- 7. b) Reflex
- 8. 2
