Second graders investigate angles through this series of lessons. They determine how angles turn in both clockwise and anticlockwise directions. They examine the characteristics of quarter half turns and how they can begin from any...

Students view a right triangle displayed by the teacher. Students measure legs and the interior angles of the triangle. They look for a pattern or relationship between the legs and angles. Students use pegboards and string to create more...

Students are introduced to the notion of surface area and volume. Students review surface area and volume by finding the area of a two-dimensional shape. They practice using the computer to create different surface area shapes.

Students utilize their handheld and the Angles program to create a non-objective artwork. Images created by famous artists who have utilized angles in their art work are examined.

Students explore a variety of geometric shapes, name them, and list their characteristics. The shapes are transposed into structures and checked for accuracy.

Students discover the relationship between the sides of a polygon and the number of diagonals that can be drawn from one vertex, the number of triangles that those diagonals form, and the sum of the interior angles of that polygon.

Pupils are introduced to some basic concepts of geometry. They explain that the definition of a triangle is a figure with three sides, three angles, and three points. Triangles can be named by using three points in their correct sequence.

Seventh graders explore the concept of angles. In this angles instructional activity, 7th graders use protractors to measure angles. Students sing an angle song. Students discuss attributes of angles using a two-color plate manipulative.

In this similar figures worksheet, students solve and complete 4 different problems. First, they write a proportion and substitute. Then, students find the cross products and simplify. Finally, they divide each side to find the value in...

In this right angles instructional activity, students review various images of right angles. Students then find the angles and right angles for the given shapes and write them on the lines.

In this identifying figures worksheet, students match 10 figures to the correct vocabulary terms that include lines, angles, shapes, and segments.

In this triangles worksheet, students identify and name 3 different types of triangles. First, they determine the number of right triangles in the figure shown on the sheet. Then, students determine the number of equilateral triangles...

In this finding unknown angles worksheet, 10th graders find each numbered angle's measure for 20 different angles shown in the diagrams. They calculate the size of an angle when the other two angles are known to equal 180 degrees. Then,...

In the precalculus worksheet, students compute vectors and angle directions from given equations. They read and interpret information from three word problems to determine direction, speed, and the velocity vector in navigation problems.

Students measure, construct, and classify angles as acute, right, straight, and obtuse. Once they have completed an angle worksheet, students use a map of South Carolina to locate cities by constructing the aforementioned angles.

Students create an original lesson about geometry and angles. In small groups they take pictures using a digital camera of obtuse, acute, right, and straight angles that they find at school. Students use the photos in a computer...

Sixth graders examine the relationship between light and the angle it strikes objects. In groups, they shine light from a flashlight on different objects and describe how it affects the shadow. To end the lesson, they complete a...

Sixth graders draw parallel and intersecting lines to observe and examine the characteristics of alternate interior angles, vertical angles, corresponding angles, and supplementary angles. Through observation, they discover the...

Sixth graders estimate the measurement of angles and then measure the exact distance using an angle ruler. In groups, they explore shapes and recognize the characteristics acute, obtuse and right angles. Students sketch required shapes,...

Sixth graders explore symmetry and discuss the difference between a rotation and reflection. Using hands-on activities, such as folding paper shapes, they discover how to find the lines of symmetry and symmetrical characteristics. As a...

Sixth graders observe the creation of a tessellation with hexagons. In groups, they work with polygons to discover what shapes can be used to create tessellations and explore the angle measurements of each shape. Using internet websites,...

Sixth graders discuss the characteristics of specific angles and then use the information to to identify and estimate given angles. The class goes outside, identifies north, and turns a specified amount of degrees. Using a given compass,...

Third graders describe an amount of turn from a particular position to another using the 'circular' benchmarks of 0, ++, ++, ++, and full turn. Estimation language such as 'just about', 'between', 'not quite', 'just over', and similar...

Students examine the correlation between art and math. Using their computers, students construct and measure angles. Students identify the properties of angles and polygons. They engage in the Angles program on their Palm and use the...
