One object in my home that has a known angle measure is a square picture frame. Each corner of the frame is a right angle, which measures 90 degrees. The picture frame is made of wood and has a nice family photo inside. I love it because it reminds me of happy memories with my family.
To find the angle measure of another object in my home, I could use my picture frame as a reference. For example, I could look at the corner of my desk, which has a different shape. I could line up the corner of the picture frame with the edge of my desk and see if the corner of the desk is a right angle too. If the two corners line up perfectly, then the angle of my desk corner is also 90 degrees. If it doesn't line up, I can see if it looks bigger or smaller and try to guess if it might be an obtuse angle (more than 90 degrees) or an acute angle (less than 90 degrees).
Using the picture frame helps me understand angles better because I have a clear example of a right angle that I can compare other angles to in my home!

That’s really cool! I didn’t even think about using a picture frame for angles! I have some books on a shelf with sharp corners too. I’ll have to check if they are right angles like your frame. Thanks for the idea!

Wow, I love that you used a frame! I have a tablet that is rectangular, and I know it has right angles too. I just measured it with a protractor. I will try comparing it with my other objects like you did with your desk! Good post!
