# Angle Block

> Learn how to use Angle blocks to display and demonstrate angles in your resources.

The **Angle** block displays an interactive angle visualization. Use it to demonstrate angle concepts, show specific angle measurements, or illustrate different angle types.

This is a display block for teaching and demonstration. learners can view and interact with the angle but aren't assessed on it.

<Info>
  For assessable angle activities where learners identify or measure angles, use the [Angle Question](/creating/resources/question-blocks/angle-question) block instead.

## When to use Angle blocks

Angle blocks work well for:

* Demonstrating angle types (acute, right, obtuse, straight, reflex)
* Showing specific angle measurements as visual examples
* Illustrating geometry concepts in explanations
* Providing reference angles alongside question content

## Settings

### Display settings

<ParamField path="Degrees" default="90" type="slider">
  The initial angle measurement in degrees (0–360).
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="Show degrees" default="true" type="switch">
  When enabled, displays the numeric degree value on the angle.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="Show angle name" default="true" type="switch">
  When enabled, displays the angle type name (acute, right, obtuse, straight, reflex).
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="Show circumference" default="true" type="switch">
  When enabled, displays the arc showing the angle measurement.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="Random rotation" default="false" type="switch">
  When enabled, the angle is randomly rotated each time it's displayed. Useful for showing that angle size doesn't depend on orientation.
</ParamField>

## Tips for teachers and parents

**Best practices:**

* Use alongside explanatory text to reinforce angle concepts
* Enable **Random rotation** to show learners that angles look the same regardless of orientation
* Hide the degree value when you want learners to estimate or identify the angle type first
* Pair with Angle Question blocks to create teach-then-assess sequences
* Use multiple Angle blocks to compare different angle sizes side by side
