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.

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...

Explore angle relationships created by parallel lines and transversals. The 13th lesson of 18 prompts scholars use transparency paper to discover angle relationships related to transversals. Learners find out that these angles pairs are...

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

Create a strong understanding of the relationships formed when parallel lines intersect a transversal. Discuss each type of angle pair and their relationship to each other. 

Complement the class by identifying pairs of angles. With a vocabulary lesson, pupils learn the names and definitions of special angle pairs including adjacent, vertical, complementary, supplementary, and linear pairs. Using the...

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...

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

Don't be obtuse, this geometry unit is the just the right resource for educating the acute young minds in your class. From classifying and measuring angles, to determining the congruence of shapes, this...

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.

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...

How do you solve an equation like trigonometry? Learners apply their understanding of trigonometric ratios to find unknown angles in right triangles. They learn the meaning of arcsine, arccosine, and arctangent. Problems include...

The third activity in the series of 29 asks learners to identify types of angles to verify angle relationships. They find unknown measures using vertical, adjacent, complementary, supplementary, and 360-degree angles.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words—and your pupils may agree after this instructional activity! They read a geometric description and create a diagram from that description. Their diagrams help them find unknown measures based...

Work within a parallel universe. Scholars learn about the relationships of angles when two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal. They see how to find the measurements of all eight angles by knowing the measure of one angle....

Young geometers get practice with the algebra of angles in an extensive skills practice learning exercise. Supplementary, complementary, and vertical angle relationships are used, along with parallel lines cut by a transversal and...

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...

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. 

Aim for a better understanding of vector components. Scholars adjust the angle of release on a bow and determine the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity vector. The pupils finish by determining how the angle affects...

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

Show it can all be proved. Scholars learn the converses of the properties of parallel lines. Using the converses, pupils determine which lines are parallel based on angle measurements and practice using a flow proof to show that two...

First angle measures, now segment lengths. High schoolers first measure segments formed by secants that intersect interior to a circle, secants that intersect exterior to a circle, and a secant and a tangent that intersect exterior to a...

Discover the results of reflecting an image. Learners use transparency paper to manipulate an image using a reflection in this fourth lesson of 18. They finish by reflecting various images across both vertical and horizontal lines.

With minimal setup and maximum freedom, young geometers are encouraged to think outside the box on a seemingly simple application problem. Though the task seems simple, measuring a given paper clip and finding how many 10 meters can...
