Pacman Angles Activity

Pacman Angles turns angle classification into a visual recognition task. Each character’s open mouth forms a different angle, and students decide whether it is acute, right, obtuse, straight, or another taught category based on its size and structure. The playful figures remove the need for measurement while still requiring comparison with benchmark angles. Teachers can ask learners to justify each classification by referencing ninety degrees or a straight line.

About this resource

Use this one-page PDF to identify angles in nine yellow game-inspired characters. Students look at each open mouth, name its angle type and write on the line below it. The task practices acute, right and obtuse angle recognition; it does not ask for degree measurements. No answer key is included.
