📐 Angles and Lines
The book teaches children about basic geometry by outlining angles, their measurements, and the unique qualities of lines. Taking time to learn about angles and lines supports spatial thinking and geometric education, both needed for more advanced math and practical solving. Protractors and drawings to show the slope graph create a fun and straight-forward way to study the topic.
Protractor Use
Students practice using a protractor to determine angles correctly in degree measures. They work on using the protractor in the right way and reading its scale to know the angle’s size. Getting good at using the protractor builds fine motor skills and accurate measuring skills. Using crayons to draw and measure angles is a good way to keep students interested.

Types of Angles
Children learn about different kinds of angles, including acute less than 90°, right at 90°, obtuse greater than 90°, and straight measuring 180°. Learning these different types of shapes allows students to distinguish them and see what sets them apart. Studying the various types of angles sharpens the ability to notice details and increases your understanding of geometry. Comers of objects and intersections are real-life cases that allow us to grasp the concept better.
