Math in the Home

This week, try to find examples of lines and angles in your home:

Angles:
Right - perfect corner (90 degrees)
Obtuse - Larger than a right angle
Acute - Smaller than a right angle (a cute little angle)

Lines:
Parallel - run next to each other; never touch
Perpendicular - two lines cross and make right angles
Intersecting - two lines cross but do not make right angles (make acute and obtuse angles)
