Types of Angles for Kids

Between zero and ninety, an angle is acute
This angle's small and skinny, and kind of cute
It looks like a V, or the top of a Y
Or the angles that you see eating pizza or pie

Angles are measured in degrees
And here's how to remember them with ease

See, when an angle measures ninety, do we call it right
You can tell this angle just by sight
It looks like an L, or the corner of a square
You're looking at them when you're walking up the stairs

Angles are measured in degrees
And here's how to remember them with ease

From ninety to one-eighty, an angle is obtuse
This angle's kind of fat, it's got a big caboose
Like the hands on the clock when it's quarter to two
Or the antlers on the head of a full-grown moose

Angles are measured in degrees
And here's how to remember them with ease

To measure an angle's degrees with a protractor
Place the vertex at the hole in the center
Line up one ray at zero on the protractor
Remember that the zero can be on top or under
Count up to where the other ray points at the number
That will be the angle's measure
