Angles In The Environment

Angles In The Environment

We are learning to go into the environment and identify different angles like acute, obtuse, reflex, etc. We have to take photos and present them either
on a slideshow, document or a google drawing.






  1. Acute Angle/ Koki tāhapa 


This a photo I have taken when going out into the environment of an acute angle. This angle is on the inner side of the number seven on a  hopscotch activity on the concrete. An acute angle is an angle that is measured to be less than 90 degrees.





  1. A full angle/ Koki huripū      


This type of angle may look like a yellow flower you will find inside of anyone's garden and, yes it is, but it is also a full angle. The inner circle of the flower is a full circle which makes it a full angle. A full angle is an angle that is exactly 360 degrees.




3)Obtuse Angle/ Koki hāpūpū 


In this photo, my friend (Dakota) has helped me take a photo of an obtuse angle. I found this obtuse angle in the environment on metal poles for when going upstairs. An obtuse angle is an angle that is greater than 180 degrees but less than 360 degrees.



4) Reflex Angle/ Koki rāwaho

                                              

To the left is a photo I took of a reflex angle. This is on the handrail of the stairs outside of my classroom as well. A reflex angle is an angle that is greater than 180 degrees but less than 360 degrees. Reflex angles are harder to find in the environment because they are not as common as finding the right angles, acute, etc.


5) Straight Angle/ Koki rārangi


This is a photo I took of my friend’s Chromebook with a straight angle on it. Straight angles are angles that
are exactly 180 degrees. Straight angles are definitely the easiest angle you could find in the environment.


 On every angle there are three important features. They are called the rays, vertex and the angle. The rays are usually found in between the two angles which measures the angle. The vertex is the point where the two lines meet and the angle is also the circle to determine the type of angle it is.


Personal Comment:
Doing this activity of taking photos of different angles and presenting them on a visual display is something I enjoyed. I agree that doing this activity for any classroom or students will test their knowledge of angles and where they can find them other than on their maths work.
