Starring Momo
Angles ยท Class 6

Angleville School

Momo: Angles in lines, Momo knows them well. No tricks here!

Count Confuso

Count Confuso: Angles are just numbers! Easy peasy!

Momo: But what if Count Confuso makes wrong angles? Uh-oh!

Angles in lines

Angles sum in lines.

Right: 90ยฐ, straight: 180ยฐ.

Line angles add 180ยฐ.

Momo: When lines meet, angles add! Right angle is 90ยฐ, straight is 180ยฐ. Count right, not wrong!

Count Confuso

Count Confuso: Look at this! A right angle is 90ยฐ? Ha! Iโ€™ll call it 85ยฐ!

Momo: Look: 120ยฐ + ? = 180ยฐ, so 60ยฐ.

180ยฐ - 120ยฐ = 60ยฐ

Angles on a line add to 180ยฐ.

Momoโ€™s trick

Draw a line.

Split it into 2 angles.

Add them to 180ยฐ.

Momo: Split a line, add angles. Always 180ยฐ! Count right, not wrong!

Your turn, hero!

Angles in lines, 80ยฐ + ? = 180ยฐ, whatโ€™s missing?

100ยฐ. 80ยฐ + 100ยฐ = 180ยฐ

Count Confuso

Count Confuso: A straight line is 180ยฐ? Ha! Iโ€™ll make it 175ยฐ!

Count Confuso says 140ยฐ + ? = 180ยฐ. Whatโ€™s right?

40ยฐ. 180ยฐ - 140ยฐ = 40ยฐ

The final battle

Count Confusoโ™ฅโ™ฅโ™ฅ

Two angles on a line add to 180ยฐ. One is 75ยฐ, otherโ€™s answer?

105ยฐ. 180ยฐ - 75ยฐ = 105ยฐ

Count Confuso

Count Confuso: Angles on a line add up to 180ยฐ? Ha! Iโ€™ll make them 170ยฐ!

Momo: Angles in lines add up! Count right, not wrong!

Count Confusoโ€™s plan fails, angles are safe. But whatโ€™s that new shape hiding?
