How it works
A full turn is 360 degrees. One tiny turn is one degree.
A quarter turn is 90 degrees. A half turn is 180 degrees. A three-quarter turn is 270 degrees.
Turns add up: 60 degrees and 150 degrees more makes 210 degrees.
Worked examples
Name the turn
- An angle is 270 degrees. Which turn is it?
- 270 is three of the 90s: 90 + 90 + 90 = 270.
- Three quarters of a full turn.
- So the answer is a three-quarter turn.
Join turns
- Max turns 60 one-degree angles, then 150 more. How many degrees in all?
- Add the degrees: 60 + 150 = 210.
- The turns add up.
- So the answer is 210.
Another join
- Leo turns 79 one-degree angles, then 15 more. How many degrees in all?
- Add the degrees: 79 + 15 = 94.
- A small turn.
- So the answer is 94.
