Title: “When Angles Argue”

(A classroom blackboard lights up. Different angles step forward, each eager to introduce themselves.)

Acute Angle: (bouncing with energy) Hi everyone! I’m Acute Angle. I’m small, sharp, and honestly… super cute.

Right Angle: (calm, serious) Cute? That’s not important. I’m Right Angle, always 90 degrees, always reliable. Without me, no one could build houses or furniture.

Obtuse Angle: (stretching, lazy grin) Pfft, you two worry too much. I’m Obtuse Angle. I like being wide and laid-back. Chill is my speciality.

(They start arguing about who’s most important.)

Acute Angle: (hands on hips) Well, at least I’m useful in triangles! Everyone loves a sharp angle.

Right Angle: (snapping) Useful? I’m the backbone of geometry! Ever heard of right triangles? Pythagoras basically wrote me fan mail!

Obtuse Angle: (mock yawning) Ugh, bragging again. You’re so stiff! At least I bring variety. Who wants to be stuck at 90 degrees all day?

(Suddenly, Reflex Angle bursts in with flair.)

Reflex Angle: (dramatic spin) Step aside, little ones! I go beyond 180. I’m the biggest, the boldest, the bendiest!

Obtuse Angle: (laughing) Bold? Please. You’re so over-the-top, even protractors can’t handle you.

Acute Angle: (giggles) Yeah, we’re all different… but maybe that’s what makes us special.

(They pause, thinking. Then they all smile.)

Right Angle: Hmph. I suppose… geometry needs all of us.

Obtuse Angle: (nodding) True. From sharp to wide, we all have a place.

Reflex Angle: (posing proudly) And together, we make math… flexible!

Acute Angle: (grinning) Or should I say… angle-tastic!

(They all laugh. Lights fade. Curtain closes.)

R4.3.1.B. Monologue ‘Zero to Hero’

(Begins with a weak vice)

“I am Zero. Just a round circle, empty inside. Nothing at all. When people count, they pass me by – one, two, three – as if I don’t exist. I feel invisible, forgotten, useless. Sometimes I wonder: what am I for? A number that isn’t really a number? A shape with no value?”

(pauses, softer voice)

 “But then I see the truth. Without me, ten would just be one. A hundred would be a mess. Even infinity would fall apart. I give space, I give balance, I give meaning. I am the middle between plus and minus, the point where everything evens out.”

(stronger voice)

“Yes, I may be nothing. But I am also everything. In my nothingness, there is room to create. In my emptiness, there is power. I am Zero- the circle that holds it all, the silence that matters, the nothing that gives weight to everything else.”
