About this worksheet

Angles in many directions to sort. More adds straight angles.

What kids practice

An angle is two rays that share an endpoint, called the vertex. Angles are measured in degrees. A full turn is 360°, a right angle is 90° and a straight angle is 180°. Fourth graders sort angles as acute, right or obtuse, measure and draw angles with a protractor, and add or subtract angles to find a missing one.

Watch for

  • Reading the wrong scale, like 130° for a 50° angle.
  • Putting the edge of the protractor, not the center mark, on the vertex.
  • Thinking longer rays make a bigger angle.
  • Adding instead of subtracting to find a missing part.

It's free to print, with Fewer, Standard or More on the page and an answer key. See the full angles guide for 4th grade.
