Type: Interactive/Game

Overview:

In this interactive activity, students will be led through steps to identify angles as obtuse, acute, right, or straight. There are teaching activities as well as practice activities available. A handout that reviews the types of angles taught during the interactive is available to be printed. After utilizing this resource, the students can complete the short quiz to assess their understanding.

Content Standard(s):
Mathematics
MA2019 (2019)
Grade: 4
27. Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines, and identify these in two-dimensional figures.
Unpacked Content
Evidence Of Student Attainment:
Students:
  • Describe the characteristics of a given figure.
    Example: An obtuse angle is described as two rays that meet at a point called a vertex with an angle measure greater than 90 degrees.
  • Draw a given figure correctly using a variety of tools.

    • Example: Use a ruler, paper, and pencil to draw two points and connect them to create a line segment.
  • Identify the given figures in two-dimensional shapes.

    • Example: Given a rectangle ABCD, identify that angle ABC is a right angle and that lines AB and CD are parallel.
Teacher Vocabulary:
  • Point
  • Line
  • Line segment
  • Ray
  • Right angle
  • Acute angle
  • Obtuse angle
  • Perpendicular lines
  • Parallel lines
  • Two dimensional figure
  • Vertex
  • Angle measure
Knowledge:
Students know:
  • defining characteristics of geometric figures, such as points, lines, line segments, angles (right, acute, and obtuse), parallel lines, and perpendicular lines.
Skills:
Students are able to:
  • Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse).
  • Draw parallel and perpendicular lines.
  • Identify points, lines, line segments, rays, angles, parallel lines, and perpendicular lines in two-dimensional figures.
Understanding:
Students understand that:
  • points, lines, line segments, angles (right, acute, and obtuse), parallel lines, and perpendicular lines are defining characteristics of two dimensional shapes.
Diverse Learning Needs:
Essential Skills:
Learning Objectives:
