How to do it
- Find the whole: marked, 180° or 90°.
- Subtract the angles you know.
- Write the missing angle.
Teaching tip
Add the parts at the end to check. This sheet is aligned with Common Core 4.MD.C.5.
About this worksheet
Angles split into parts to find the missing one. Fewer uses marked angles and straight lines, Standard adds square corners, and More has three parts.
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.

1. How to Name AnglesThe parts of an angle, acute, right, obtuse and straight angles, and turns in degrees. 
2. Acute, Right or Obtuse?Angles in many directions to sort. More adds straight angles.- See it all
3. How to Use a ProtractorReading a 50° angle on the outer scale and a 130° angle on the inner scale. 
4. Read the ProtractorProtractors drawn on angles to read. Fewer uses tens, Standard uses fives on both scales, and More uses any whole degree.
5. Measure AnglesAngles to measure with a real protractor. Fewer uses tens, and Standard and More use fives in different directions.
6. Draw AnglesA ray and a measure to draw each angle with a protractor.- See it all
7. How to Find a Missing AngleMissing angles in a marked angle, on a straight line (180°) and in a square corner (90°).
