Lines and Angles Adventure!
Lesson Description
Video Resource
Key Concepts
- Parallel lines
- Perpendicular lines
- Right angle
- Acute angle
- Obtuse angle
Learning Objectives
- Students will be able to identify parallel and perpendicular lines.
- Students will be able to define and identify right, acute, and obtuse angles.
Educator Instructions
- Introduction (5 mins)
Begin by asking students what they already know about lines and angles. Show different examples of lines and angles in the classroom (e.g., the corner of a book, lines on a notebook). Explain that they will be watching a video to learn more about lines and angles. - Video Viewing (5 mins)
Play the Miacademy Learning Channel video "What are Lines and Angles?". Instruct students to pay close attention to the different types of lines and angles discussed. - Discussion (10 mins)
After watching the video, have a class discussion to reinforce the concepts. Use discussion questions to guide the conversation. - Interactive Activity (15 mins)
Engage students in an interactive exercise to further solidify their understanding. Use the "Angle Hunt" activity. - Assessment (10 mins)
Administer a multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank quiz to assess students' understanding of the material covered in the lesson.
Interactive Exercises
- Angle Hunt
Students explore the classroom looking for examples of parallel lines, perpendicular lines, right angles, acute angles, and obtuse angles. They record their findings on a worksheet, drawing or describing each example.
