All it takes is a quick glance around a room, any room, to find angles everywhere. Every corner in the room makes an angle. So do the corners of windows, doors, books, tables, shelves, cabinets, and all sorts of other common objects. Anywhere two lines come together to form a point, an angle is created. Angles come in all shapes and sizes.
Understanding what angles are, how they work, and how to create them are important. They help us build better streets and cities. Angles help us tell time, using the sun and shadows, and they make it possible to measure how far away the planets and stars are. We can play games better when we understand how angles help us score points and get from one spot to another in the shortest distance. Angles even work with sunlight to allow us to see colors. When we learn about angles, we are building a geometry foundation. Our learning focus was the three types of angles; obtuse, acute and right. We also learned how to use a protractor measure angles!
As a culminating activity, we measured and labeled so many angles!!!!
