Common mistakes

What learners typically get wrong, and how to fix it.

  • Reads the wrong scale on a protractor.

    Correction: Start from the 0 on the arm you are measuring from.

  • Uses 360° for a triangle.

    Correction: Triangle = 180°, quadrilateral = 360°.

Teacher tips

  • · Estimate the angle type before measuring.

Parent tips

  • · Spot right angles around the house.

Real-life applications

  • · Ramps, clock hands, building and design.
