Note for Parents & Teachers
This follows the NCERT Class 5 chapter "Angles as Turns". An angle is described by how much of a full turn is made: a quarter turn is a right angle, a half turn is a straight angle, less than a quarter is acute and between a quarter and a half is obtuse. Degrees come in a later class, so turns are used here. Clockwise is the direction the hands of a clock move.
