Driving Question: Are all triangles the same?


Learning Target: To be able to use angles to solve puzzles. 
Success Criteria
Beginning
Measure and draw angles accurately; distinguish between acute, obtuse and reflex angles.
Developing
Apply the angle properties of angles at a point, on a straight line and vertically opposite angles.
Mastering
Investigating the angles in polygons. 

Resources

Beginning

B1
What is an angle? How do we measure an angle? What does this tell us?
Guess the angle game

B2
CIMT: Naming Angles

B3

Mastering


M1
To investigate the angle in a triangle. 
What can we say about the angles in an equilateral triangle?


Ask students to cut out a triangle and then mark the three corners.
Now cut the corners off the triangle corners.
Now put the points together to find out what the angles in a triangle add up to.
