Curated OER
Shapes and Designs
In this shapes and designs instructional activity, 10th graders solve and complete 6 different types of problems. First, they fill in the first two columns of the table show with their shapes. Then, students measure the interior angles...
Curated OER
Angle Action 1,2 and 3
Students investigate angles through construction. In this geometry lesson, students use a protractor to identify the measurement of an angle. They identify angles cut by a transversal and two parallel lines.
Curated OER
Constructing angles
In this angle activity, students read a selection on angles and complete three short answer activities about right angles.
Curated OER
Angle-Side Relationships
Learners calculate the different sides and angles of a triangle. In this geometry lesson, students use triangular properties to define the relationship between two triangle. They identify missing angles using the interior angle theorem.

How Many Triangles?
Something for young mathematicians to remember: the sum of any two sides must be greater than the third. Class members investigates the Triangle Inequality Theorem to find the relationship between the sides of a triangle. At the...

Fundamental Theorem of Similarity (FTS)
How do dilated line segments relate? Lead the class in an activity to determine the relationship between line segments and their dilated images. In the fourth section in a unit of 16, pupils discover the dilated line...
Curated OER
Measuring Angles
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...

Drawing Geometric Shapes
Learners build confidence working with geometric tools and develop their construction techniques in the sixth lesson plan of the 29-part series. Given a geometric description, they use a compass, protractor, or ruler to create it....

Angles: Prove It!
In this angle worksheet, students first draw a set of intersecting lines, then use a protractor to complete a set of instructions about angles and answer related questions. Answers included on page 2.
Curated OER
Have You Got The Angle?
In this angle activity, students complete a set of 10 multiple choice questions. An answer link is provided; page is labeled as a "post test."

I Can Name that Angle in One Measure! - Grade Eight
Collaborative groups work with geometry manipulatives to investigate conjectures about angles. They create a graphic organizer to use in summarizing relationships among angles in intersecting, perpendicular and parallel lines cut by a...
Curated OER
Refraction Through a Triangle
In this refraction through a triangle worksheet, students use a given diagram of light striking a triangular piece of plexiglass to determine the light ray's angle of incidence, the ray's angle of refraction, they use Snell's Law to...
Curated OER
Refraction Through a Circular Disk
In this refraction through a circular disk worksheet, students are given a diagram of a circular disk of leaded glass with light striking it. Students use the diagram to find the angle of incidence of the light, the angle of refraction,...
Curated OER
Exercise Set 4.3: Unit Circle Trigonometry
For this unit circle worksheet, students answer 90 short answer questions about the unit circle. Students sketch angles given a radian measure. Students find the trigonometric values of various angles on the unit circle.
Curated OER
Reflections Of
Students create angles using mirrors. In this angle reflection lesson, students draw angles, then use mirrors to create angles using reflections and measure the new angles.

Show Me the Way To Go Home
Middle schoolers place a pencil perpendicular to the ground and trace its shadow between 11:30 AM and 12:30 PM. They measure the length of the shadow, periodically over several hours, in either English or Metric units. Using the data,...

Parallelogram
Parallelograms are pairs of triangles all the way around. Pupils measure to determine the area and perimeter of a parallelogram. They then find the area of the tirangles formed by drawing a diagonal of the parallelogram and compare their...

Constructing SAS Triangles
Two sides and an angle ... a triangle it makes. Given the measure to two sides and the angle between them, the narrator of a short video shows how to draw a triangle with a ruler and protractor. Pupils use handouts to practice the newly...

Side to Side
Congruent figures: two figures that want to be just like each other. Individuals learn to distinguish between figures that are congruent and those that are not. Measuring the lengths of line segments and angles helps in this endeavor.
Curated OER
Rocket Angles
Eighth graders create rockets that be launched at varying angles to determine which angle is best to launch at for the longest distance.
Curated OER
Bisecting Angles and Segments
Students bisect angles and segments using a mira. They measure the original angles and segments and the angles and segments formed by bisecting to better see the relationship between them.
Curated OER
Angles: Angles, Angles, Everywhere
Middle schoolers estimate and accurately measure the size of angles communicate with the appropriate geometric terms and symbols to describe and name angles, lines, line segments, rays
Curated OER
Angles and Arcs
Students discuss the sum of central angles and use string to create them on circles. They find the measure and length of both minor and major arcs.
Students give examples of concentric, similar, and congruent circles and congruent arcs.
