Suitable explanation e.g. ‘(An angle of 190° is a) reflex angle’. ‘Obtuse angles are below 180° (and above 90°)’. ‘Obtuse angles can’t be more than 180°’. ‘Angles between 90° and 180° are obtuse’	E1	Do not accept ‘it’s too big’ ‘obtuse angles are smaller’ ‘obtuse angles cannot be 190°’ Allow ‘angles 90° – 180° are obtuse’ ‘angles 91° – 180° are obtuse’ ‘angles 90° – 179° are obtuse’ Do not ignore contradictory or incorrect comments e.g. ‘obtuse angles are greater than 90°’ ‘obtuse angles cannot be greater than 180°. This is an acute angle’.
