Activity Overview
Using a storyboard is a great way to highlight important ideas in a lesson or check for student understanding. This "Types of Angles" storyboard can be used either as a visual aid or activity for students to complete. You may also wish to show only a few frames of a more comprehensive slide show to focus on the day’s topics, or use such a storyboard for students who need to catch up or have a re-teaching session.
In using it as an activity, have students identify, illustrate an example of, and define each type of angle. a storyboard to highlight important ideas in a lesson. Students can create angles using arrows or segments, or they can place segments over Storyboard That images, objects, or scenes to show angles in everyday life.
To provide scaffolding for students, consider creating a matching game. Have the type of angle in one cell and an illustration of it in another. Print the storyboard and cut up the cells for students to match together.

How Tos about Identifying Types of Angles
How can I quickly assess students’ understanding of angle types during class?
Circulate the room and ask students to point out examples of each angle type in their storyboard or around the classroom. Immediate feedback helps clarify misconceptions and reinforces learning for all students. Use quick, targeted questions to keep checks efficient.
Encourage students to use movement to model angles
Invite students to form different angles with their arms or bodies. Physical modeling helps kinesthetic learners and makes angle concepts memorable. Challenge students to show acute, right, obtuse, and straight angles as a group activity.
Integrate real-life objects for hands-on angle identification
Ask students to search the classroom or their homes for objects showing various types of angles. Connecting math to everyday items deepens understanding. Have students photograph or draw these objects to add to their storyboard or share with classmates.
Use exit tickets to reinforce angle recognition
At the end of the lesson, give each student a sticky note or slip of paper. Prompt them to draw and label an example of a specific angle type. Collect these as a quick check of individual understanding and to inform future instruction.
Frequently Asked Questions about Identifying Types of Angles
What are the different types of angles students should know?
Types of angles students should know include acute angles (less than 90°), right angles (exactly 90°), obtuse angles (between 90° and 180°), straight angles (exactly 180°), and reflex angles (greater than 180° but less than 360°).
How can I teach types of angles using a storyboard activity?
Use a storyboard by having students define each angle type, draw or illustrate an example, and show angles in real-life situations. Storyboards can be printed or completed digitally for interactive learning.
What is an easy classroom activity to help students identify angles?
Try a matching game where students pair angle names with their illustrations. You can print and cut storyboard cells for hands-on practice or use images from everyday life for added engagement.
How do I scaffold lessons for students struggling with angle types?
Provide visual aids like storyboards, break tasks into steps, and give practice with matching games. Use real-world examples and offer opportunities for re-teaching or extra practice as needed.
Can students use Storyboard That to show angles in everyday life?
Yes, students can use Storyboard That to place arrows or segments over images, objects, or scenes, helping them find and illustrate angles in familiar, everyday contexts.
