Video Lessons


📹 Video Lesson Tips

  • 🔍 Pause and look around your room — can you spot a right angle?
  • 🔄 Try making a quarter, half and three-quarter turn yourself
  • 📐 Use the corner of your book to check if your quarter turn is a right angle


💡 Key Ideas (Quick Guide)

📐 What Is a Right Angle?
A right angle is a square corner. It measures exactly 90 degrees. Look for the little ◻️ square symbol — that tells you it’s a right angle!


🔄 Quarter Turn = 1 Right Angle

🔢 Turn
📐 ¼ Quarter Turn = 1 Right Angle
📐 ½ Half Turn = 2 Right Angles
📐 ¾ Three-Quarter Turn = 3 Right Angles

🌟 Remember This!

  • ✅ A quarter turn → spins you to face the side → equal to 1 right angle
  • ✅ A half turn → spins you to face behind → greater than a right angle (= 2 right angles)
  • ✅ A three-quarter turn → almost a full circle → greater than a right angle (= 3 right angles)
