Description

The Angle Detective is challenging children to state the type of angle that is presented and to estimate it's size. The solutions (apart from the first couple) are not articulated, but space is given for children to call out (or show on a whiteboard) their own personal estimations. In this video he is working with acute and obtuse and reflex angles, as well as right-angles and straight lines.
