Angles Lesson Plan

Abstract

This lesson allows students to learn different types of angles including:

  • adjacent
  • alternate exterior
  • alternate interior
  • verticle
  • acute
  • obtuse
  • right

Standards (NCTM 3-5)

Geometry

Analyze characteristics and properties of two- and three-dimensional geometric shapes and develop mathematical arguments about geometric relationships Specify locations and describe spatial relationships using coordinate geometry and other representational systems

  1. Teacher Input
  2. Explain the rules to the What's Your Angle? game.

  3. Guided Practice
  4. Have the students play the What's Your Angle? game.

  5. Independant Practice
  1. Closure
  2. Review the different types of angles by having the students come to the front of the class and point out the different angles on the floor angle model.
