Acute angles are less than 90°. Right angles are exactly 90°. Obtuse angles are greater than 90° but less than 180°. Reflex angles are greater than 180° but less than 360°. We use lower-case Greek letters, e.g., 𝜃 or 𝑥 or we use three upper-case letters, e.g., 𝐵𝐴𝐶. Angles around a point add up to 360°. Angles around a point on a straight line add up to 180°. Vertically opposite angles are equal. Alternate angles are equal - they look like Z angles, but never say this in the exam. Corresponding angles are equal - they look like F angles, but never say this in the exam. Co-Interior angles add up to 180° - they look like C angles, but never say this in the exam.

"Why can't we just teach math the way I learned it?"
The volume of work often necessitates computers who can perform the routine machine operations with great speed, but who need not have much logical insight into what the results should be...
Memo: "Computing Group Organizations and Practices at NACA" April 24th 1942
The old way of teaching math was to make you do it like a machine...
The new way is to understand it so you can build the machines!
To ensure that all students are mathematically equipped to solve the world's most challenging problems.
OUR MISSION:
So how on earth do you learn this?
