GA QCC: 1 Solves problems, reasons, and estimates throughout mathematics: Selects and uses problem-solving strategies such as reading the problem, drawing a picture or diagram, using trial and error, making a table or chart, looking for patterns, making a simpler problem and then generalizing, and working backwards, etc. Selects and uses appropriate tools in solving problems. Uses estimating to check the reasonableness of results. Solves non-routine problems for which the answer is not obvious. Relates concepts and skills to practical applications. ional geometric shapes and develop mathematical arguments about geometric relationship. 9:Selects apropriate measuring instruments and measures accurately length, volume/capacity, wieght/mass, time, temperature and angles. 10: Measures and classifies angles as right, acute, or obtuse. 20:Identifies physical and symbolic representations of geometric figures, such as points, lines, planes, line segments, polygons, vertices, rays, sides, angles, and diagonals. 27:Identifies physical and symbolic representations of vertical, supplementary, complementary, and straight angles; parallel and perpendicular lines; transversals and uses these geometric figures, properties, and relations to solve problems. Understandings: user The student will understand that there are a variety of angles and geometric figures that have special names and properties. Essential Questions: user What's my angle? What is a line anyway? Why are angles and lines related? Where can angles and lines be used in real life situations? Knowledge and Skills: Students will know the names and properties of various angles and be able to identify them. Students will know that point, line and plane are undefined, but serve a major purpose in mathematics. Stage 2: Determine Acceptable Evidence Assessment Summary: Task/Prompt: Pick an angle Type:Performance Task Topics: various angles and their properties Summary: Students will have to sort a group of angles by categories and be able to state the properties of the angles. Print Materials Needed: Resources: Resource Attachments: Internet Resource Links: Link 1: Link 2: Link 3: Link 4: Link 5: Notes: Student Directions: You have been given a bag of angles. (They look like trianges but the angles you are concerned with have been marked). Your task is to separate them into groups of acute, right, obtuse and straight angles. Be able to state why you have put each angle in the groups. After you have grouped all angles and recorded which belong to each group, see how many pairs of complementary and supplementary angles you can find. Rubric(s) Rubric: Pick an angle Summary: Students are to classify angles and be able to state the properties of the angles. Trait: Angles Performance Type: Process.

Task/Prompt: Road Map to Geometry Type:Performance Task Topics: angle, line, parallel, perpendicular, transversal, vertical angles, adjacent angles, obtuse, right, acute, straight Summary: Students will create a road map of a town which includes a visualization of a variety of geometric terms. Students will be able to show their proficiency of geometric terms through the road map. Print Materials Needed: Resources: Resource Attachments: Internet Resource Links: Link 1: Link 2: Link 3: Link 4: Link 5: Notes: A great way to have students label their maps is to put a letter at each intersection and then write what the letter represents on the back of the map. For example: At A you will find a set of Vertical Angles. Another way to label is to have the students write a sentence for each of their terms. For example: Parallel Ave. and Staight Rd. are parallel to each other. Student Directions: Students will create a road map of an imaginary town where the following items must be included (but are not limited to): A Town Name 4 buildings 2 sets of parallel lines 2 sets of perpendicular lines 2 transversals 2 right angles 2 acute angles 2 obtuse angles 1 straight angles 2 sets of vertical angles 2 sets of adjacent angles All of the roads should be named and each of the elements of the map should be identified. Your map should be accurate and show your knowledge of geometry vocabulary terms. Rubric(s) Rubric: Road Map to Geometry Summary: This rubric will measure the students proficiency in geometric terms, their use of measuring tools, and their ability to follow directions while using their creativity. Trait: Geometry Vocabulary Performance Type: Display. Level 1: Excellent Level 2: Good Level 3: Competent Level 4: Needs Improvement All information is included.

All roads and intersections are labelled accurately. All information is included. Shows knowledge of terms with few mistakes. Uses appropriate tools with few measurement mistakes. Roads and intersections are labelled with few mistakes. Some of the necessary information is missing. Roads and intersections are not labeled accurately. Mistakes were made with measurement. Not all necessary information is present. Lack of labels for intersections and roads. Tools were not used for measurement or neatness. Other assessment evidence to be collected: Stage 3: Plan Learning Experiences and Instruction Learning Activities: Word splash with the names of the various types of angles, using all kinds that are mentioned in the standards above After discussing them, have the students draw an angle that represents each of the words on the word splash. Do a pair and share, to allow each student explain his/her drawing to a partner. Give a handout with various measurements for one or two angles on it, and have the students state the type of angle(s) depicted. For example: 25 degrees would be an acute angle. 35 degrees and 55 degrees would be complementary angles. Have the students draw the various angles. Discuss the difference between line, ray and line segment. Discuss parallel, perpendicular and intersecting lines. Have the students find pictures of the different kinds of lines in magazines and around the building. Talk about complementary, supplementary and vertical angles. Have the students identify these angles around the room. Have students draw examples of complementary, supplementary, vertical, adjacent, corresponding, and right angles using lines cut by a transversal. Draw several angles and have students estimate the degrees based on the definitions for acute, obtuse, right, and straight angles. Group students into partners and give each set of partners a geometry vocablulary word (point, line, plane, ray, line segment, angle, supplementary, complementary, vertical angles, adjacents angles, parallel, perpendicular, transversal). Each group will define their word using a 3-dimensional piece of artwork, a role-playing episode, a story, etc. Have the students use their creativity. Eg. two students stand directly next to each other without touching to represent parallel lines. They should explain what parallel lines are and give some main points about them. Have students practice using complementary and supplementary angles and determining the missing angle if given the measure for one angle and knowing that the two angles are complementary or supplementary. Help students differentiate between complementary and supplementary. Allow them to come up with a mnemonic device of their own; e.g. supplementary angles make Straight angles (notice the S's.) Give students a list of at least 10 angle measures: 180, 90, 75, 45, 110, 30, 150, 175, 60, 10 for example and have them create a drawing using each of the angles at least once. They must use a protractor to draw the anlges in order to make their drawing neat. This is a good way to determine their proficiency with measuring and drawing angles. Try to have them stay away from drawing houses to allow their creative genius to flow. Demonstrate how to add angles and how the rotation of geometric figures can show addition. Relate this activity to complementary and supplementary angles. Notes: Conceptmap7 What's my angle?
