Angles & Art

In Math these past two weeks with Ms Elder, we have been learning about angles. We know there are four types of angles: 

• right = 90 degrees 
• obtuse = 90 degrees - 180 degrees
• acute = 0 degrees - 90 degrees
• reflex = 180 degrees - 360 degrees

We learned how to use a protractor to measure angles. 

We also learned how to sort triangles according to their angles and side length:

Angles

• right = a triangle with one right angle
• acute = a triangle with all acute angles
• obtuse = a triangle with one obtuse angle

Side Length

• equilateral = all equal sides
• isosceles = two sides are the same length
• scalene = all sides are different lengths

Ms Elder showed us examples of artwork by the Russian painter Kandinsky. We learned a bit about his life by reading the book, The Noisy Paintbox by Barb Rosenstock. We created inspired artwork that included our understanding of angles. Check out some examples below!
