New York State Testing Program Practice
In this standardized test preparation learning exercise, 8th graders solve several varying problems. This twelve page test preparation learning exercise asks students to show their work and explain how they arrived at their...
Curated OER
Angle Action
Young scholars measure and label specified angles. In this angles lesson, students use a protractor to find angles that are acute, obtuse, and reflexive. Young scholars then label each angle and match the angles the correct definition....
Curated OER
How To Use A Protractor
Fifth graders use the SMART Board to demonstrate how to use a protractor to measure acute, obtuse, and right angles. For this protractor lesson plan, 5th graders also complete an angles worksheet.
Curated OER
Working With Angles
In this math worksheet, students collaborate with a "study buddy" or "coach" to learn whether an angle is acute, obtuse or right. Students follow the directions to go through the process of deciding what classification an angle has....
Curated OER
Classify and Measure the Angles
In this measuring angles worksheet, students use protractors to measure 9 angles and classify them as obtuse, straight, acute or right angles.
Curated OER
Christmas Tree Angles
For this angles worksheet, students measure angles to make triangles and cut them out to make a Christmas tree. Students draw and cut 5 triangles to make their tree.

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
Angles That Pair
Students identify angles. For this angles that pair lesson, students identify adjacent, vertical, complementary, and supplementary angles. They use straws, pretzel sticks to demonstrate given types of angles.
Curated OER
Measurement
Learners explore the necessity for standards of measurement and measure length, volume, mass and angles. In this measurement lesson plan, students use their hand and foot to measure objects in the room. They compare their measurements to...
Curated OER
Show Me the Way To Go Home
Learners 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, they find...
Curated OER
Angles
Learners measure angles using a protractor. In this geometry lesson plan, students solve for the missing angles using equations set to the theorem of triangles. They measure missing angles through construction and identify congruent angles.

My Angle on Cooling: Effects of Distance and Inclination
Middle schoolers discuss what heat is and how it travels. They discover that one way to cool an object in the presence of a heat source is to increase the distance from it or change the angle at which it is faced.
