“Everything is so linear, but this makes me think diagonally!” ~ a student describing Byrdseed.TV
Students explore the properties of angles, search city maps for intersecting streets, and then design their own street intersection.
Students create angles using the app and worksheet, measuring their sizes and observing the relationships between the two formed angles.
Explore how 2, 4, 6, or even 8 intersecting angles still add up to 360º.
Students choose a city, find an interesting intersection, print the map, and measure the angles at that intersection.
Students create their own unique road intersections, deciding on street layouts, naming roads, and measuring the angles accurately.
Students will inductively discover the rules of a triangle’s angles.
Students try to create the biggest possible angle inside of a triangle.
They look for triangles with one or more right angles.
Then they add up three angles, trying to find the largest and smallest sums possible.
Students try to create triangles with two and three congruent angles.
Students determine how a triangle’s angle sizes relate to the lengths of its sides.
Students debate which is longer: a ray or a line.
Students learn about the infinity symbol and its connection to lines, line segments, and rays in geometry.
Now we ponder: “Which has more points on it?”
Students choose between storytelling formats to express their thoughts on the relationship between a line, line segment, and ray.
