Angles as Turns: the Statue Game Story
A short read for Class 5 before you play. These notes follow Chapter 3 of NCERT Math Mela.
🧍 Statue
Children keep turning on the spot, and when the teacher calls Statue they freeze. How far they turned shows the size of the angle.
🎡 Full, half, quarter
A giant wheel makes a full turn when it returns to its start. A half turn is 1/2 and a quarter turn is 1/4.
📐 Turns make angles
A quarter turn is a right angle and less than that is acute. More than a quarter but less than a half is obtuse, and a half turn is a straight angle.
🛠 Angle tool
A straw on a folded circle shows eighth turns. Put two of them together to get a quarter turn.
🕒 Clock and compass
The minute hand makes a quarter turn every 15 minutes. On a compass, a right angle clockwise from North is East.
📖 Case studies
Doors, taps and giant wheels turn. Add the turns, then name the angle or the direction.

Worked examples
3 parts out of 8 is 3/8 of a turn, which is more than 1/4, so the angle is obtuse.
South to West to North to East, so she faces East.
60 ÷ 6 = 10 minutes.

Solved examples
1/2 + 1/2 = 1, a full turn.
1/4 = 2/8, so 2 eighth turns.
12 ÷ 2 = 6 parts.
40 out of 60 is 2/3.
West.
1/4 = 2/8, and 3 eighths is more than 2 eighths, so 3/8 turn is more.
Common mistakes
| Mistake | Correct idea |
|---|---|
| Calling a half turn a right angle. | A half turn is a straight angle. |
| Mixing up clockwise and anti-clockwise. | Clockwise is the way clock hands move. |
| Forgetting the starting position. | Mark it before turning. |

Angles as Turns in daily life
Children see turns in taps, door handles, fans, scissors and steering wheels. Playing Statue at home makes turns easy to feel.
Tips for parents and teachers
- Play Statue and ask what part of a turn each child made.
- Make the straw tool from tracing paper.
- Ask which way a tap turns to open and to close.
- Practise one assertion and one case study each week.

Angles as Turns Class 5 FAQs
What is Chapter 3 of NCERT Class 5 Maths Math Mela?
Chapter 3 is Angles as Turns. It shows how full, half and quarter turns make angles, how to measure turns with an angle tool, and how turns work on a clock and a compass.
What are angles as turns?
An angle is made whenever something turns about a point while one arm stays fixed. The bigger the turn, the bigger the angle.
What is a quarter turn?
A quarter turn is 1/4 of a full turn. It makes a right angle.
What is a half turn?
A half turn is 1/2 of a full turn. It makes a straight angle, so we end up facing the opposite way.
What is a full turn?
A full turn brings an object back to where it started. It is the same as 4 quarter turns or 2 half turns.
How many quarter turns make a full turn?
4 quarter turns make a full turn, because 4 x 1/4 = 1.
How do you tell acute, right and obtuse angles from turns?
A turn less than 1/4 makes an acute angle, exactly 1/4 makes a right angle, and a turn between 1/4 and 1/2 makes an obtuse angle.
How do you make an angle measuring tool?
Cut a circle from tracing paper, fold it into 8 equal parts, fix a straw at the centre and mark the starting point. Each part is an eighth turn.
How many minutes make a quarter turn of the minute hand?
The minute hand takes 60 minutes for a full turn, so a quarter turn takes 15 minutes and a half turn takes 30 minutes.
What is the difference between clockwise and anti-clockwise?
Clockwise is the direction in which the hands of a clock move. Anti-clockwise is the opposite direction.
How do you find the direction after a turn?
On a compass, North, East, South and West are a right angle apart. Turning clockwise from North takes you to East, then South, then West.
What can children do on this page?
Children can take a 20-question online quiz with assertion and reason and case study questions, play five games, try five online activities, finish five challenges, run the Turns Lab and two virtual experiments, and fill in a 16-question practice sheet with a Show answers button.
