Does the explanation make sense? Sample items highlight claim three, communicating reason, in the Smarter Balanced assessments. Teachers use the 16 items to help show pupils the importance of communication and reasoning within...

Sometimes it's how you ask the question that counts. The sixth installment of nine from the Smarter Balanced Claim 1 Slideshow series presents a set of 13 questions to assess understanding of angle relationships as well as area and...

Communication is the key. A presentation provides 25 sample items for Claim 3, Communicating Reasoning, for the Smarter Balanced High School Math assessment. Items require pupils to answer the question and provide logical reasoning to...

How can opposites be equal? Pupils learn about the measures of angles when two lines intersect by watching an educational video. They see how vertical angles are congruent, and solve problems using this idea.

Define angles across from each other. An informative segment from a larger playlist on geometry introduces vertical angles and shows they have equal measures. Using their properties, the presenter solves problems involving vertical angles.

You're such a great resource, said the complementary angle. A short video in the Socratica Geometry playlist describes complementary, supplementary, and vertical angles. It also shows how to calculate the other angle in a supplementary...

From any angle, the resource on proving angle relationships is a good one to use. Scholars first engage in activities that enable them to identify types of angles when a transversal cuts two parallel lines. In groups, they prove a...

Yo, yo, learn about vertical angles with a yo-yo. Using an interactive, scholars adjust the position of fingers holding a design from a yo-yo. Answering a set of challenge questions based on the interactive helps clarify understanding of...

Examine vertical angles from a different angle. Moving one line in an intersecting pair of lines lets users see relationships between vertical angles. They finish by answering some machine-scored questions on the topic.

Why are vertical angles congruent? Pupils must identify a pair of congruent vertical angles from a diagrams. Of course, they must prove that they are congruent.

How does your class measure up to finding angle measurements? Young scholars of geometry find the measurements of four missing angles on three concurrent lines. After finding each measurement, they must then justify their answers. Use...

Can your pupils determine the measurement of seven angles from the measurement of just one? Geometry enthusiasts tackle this task in a problem involving parallel lines with a transversal. After finding the correct measurements, the class...

Explore angle relationships associated with transversals. Pupils construct parallel lines with a transversal and find the measures of the angles formed. They figure out how the different angles are related before constructing...

Learners build connections between algebra and geometry as they study equation solving. The ninth activity in the series of 28 asks pupils to write equations using angle relationships. After writing equations to model vertical and...

Demonstrate the application of algebra to geometric angle relationships with an activity that asks learners to use what they know about adjacent and vertical angles to write algebraic equations.  Diagrams become more complex in this...

Help learners find joy in facing mathematical challenges. The questions posed on this worksheet encourage young mathematicians to utilize skills learned throughout a geometry unit, and to apply themselves and persevere through problem...

Scale up your lessons on geometry and ask learners to investigate conditions on triangles, scale drawings, area and circumference of circles, and angle relationships. The resource includes activities and a homework assignment.

The Pythagorean Theorem is a staple of middle school geometry. Scholars first investigate angle relationships, both in triangles and in parallel lines with a transversal, before proving and applying the Pythagorean Theorem.

What do you create when you rotate a ray? An angle! Teach all the angle basics including naming, measuring, supplements, and complements. 

Geometry is full of shapes, figures, and corresponding things here and there. The guide shares all of the key pieces of geometric information in a nicely color-coded and labeled sheet. 

A pre-test contains questions about transformations that lead to congruent and similar images. It also covers angle relationships associated with triangles and parallel lines intersected by a transversal. 

Acute angle, line of symmetry, and vertex are a few terms you'll find in a set of 90 flashcards designed to reinforce math vocabulary. Included in the set are two types of cards; a word card printed in bold font, and a definition card...

How do you solve for an unknown angle? In this sixth installment of a 36-part series, young mathematicians use concepts learned in middle school geometry to set up and solve linear equations to find angle measures.

Your geometry learners use their knowledge of various geometric concepts to write proofs. Starting with givens containing parallel line segments with transversals and triangles and quadrilaterals, and the mid-point and distance formulas;...
