Hands-On Activities to Make Parallel Lines

Cartoonist Johnny Hart, in his comic strip "B.C.," notes that parallel lines never meet because nobody ever introduced them.

Teaching your students how to identify simple angles, to calculating and identifying different configurations of angles, can be a pretty boring subject!

But, it doesn't need to be! Here are some fun, yet worthwhile, activities and teaching resources you could use in the classroom to improve your students' understanding of angles.

There are often cute little comics that you could begin lessons with as a great discussion point...

Looking for Angles in Letters

Have students use a ruler to create the letter of their first name. Then, with the ruler, draw random lines within their letter and colour as they wish. Students then need to find as many angles as they can and measure each angle! Simple, fun and worthwhile!

Measure Angles in Pictures

We have some gorgeous angle worksheets with cute pictures that have different types of angles for your students to identify.

This could be done individually, alternatively, print onto an A3 piece of paper and provide small groups with a copy. Each student in the group could be allocated a particular angle to find, or the sheet could be passed around for each student to find one angle at a time!

Angles Bingo

Whatever you are teaching, BINGO is always a popular activity to do with your class.

Check out our Angles Bingo.

Washi Tape Fun!

Students use Washi Tape and stick bits of it all over an A4 piece of card.

They then need to find and measure all of the angles! This could be done on students desks, using a whiteboard marker!

Angles in My Name

Using our grid paper template, instruct your students to use a ruler to write their name in pencil on the grid paper, without any curved edges. Students trace over their name with a pen, then find each of the angles in their name. If their first name is short, they may wish to use their surname.

As an extension activity, students could find reflex and straight angles.

I have, Who Has? Angles Game

A whole-class game to consolidate students' understanding of complementary and supplementary angles.

Print and cut the game cards. Provide each student with a card.

The student that has the sentence 'I am the starter' begins the game by standing up and reading their card.

Once they have read their clue, the student that has the matching complementary or supplementary angle on their card stands up and reads what is on their card.

The game continues until the last person reads out 'Finished'.

Make an Angles Display

Angles can be pretty tricky when you are trying to learn all the different types and terms. Having a classroom display to help your students remember the different terms and angles is a must! We have a range of posters that are perfect to display in your classroom.

Here are some of our fantastic fraction posters available to download today!

Angle Clappers

Angles and all their different names can be confusing, but these Angle Clappers make angles fun.

These Angle Clappers take a bit of constructing, but they're well worth it when they are done. Use these angle clappers to interactively show the different angles and their properties.

Door Angles

Use Washi Tape and measure out the different angles the classroom door can show! A great visual and fun activity the whole class can benefit from! A great photo from Math in the Middle.

Teaching PowerPoints

Use our fantastic Identifying Angles PowerPoint and Working with Angles PowerPoint.

This post is dedicated to Mor over at A Teacher's Treasure. Last weekend I watched her video on Interactive Student Notebooks (click on the link to check it out for yourself) ... and I was so inspired I knew I couldn't wait to "kick it up a notch" again in my math journals. This was the piece I was missing in my math journals - and before I watched the video I didn't even realize I was missing something. Her interactive student notebooks are based on the right side and left side pages. The students' right side of the notebooks all contain the same information (direct from the teacher). The left side of the notebook contains the students' thinking, knowledge, and reflection on the lesson. She has a terrific resource packed with over 100 templates for "left side of the page thinking". You can see it by clicking (and it's even on sale right now!).

I couldn't wait until September to start using the ideas in her fabulous resource, so we started using her strategies this week. On Monday we were learning about Order of Operations. I took them outside for a fun order of operations hopscotch, then we used the sidewalk chalk to fill the basketball court with problems and solutions. You can read my post about it . So of course, we needed a foldable to go along with our new knowledge. I needed it to be quick and easy because I wanted to spend time discussing our new "left side" thinking. So, quick and easy it was. We used sticky notes and arranged them in a hopscotch pattern (to tie in our outside activity). Underneath each sticky note was the word for each step (under the "B" was brackets). I added a little extra information (including our learning goal) for them to copy, and that was that.

This is the left side of the journals. Students rewrite the learning goal from the right side of the page (in student-friendly language). Then they write "What I Know". We do this before we do the lesson (it's highlighted in green to show that now we can "go" on with the rest of the lesson). After the lesson they write "What I Learned", "Proof" (where I want them to write a problem and solve it), and then a "Reflection" - this one is completely up to them - they can reflect on and show their learning in ANY way they want. This particular student wrote a mnemonic device for memorizing the steps to order of operations.

After our test midweek, we started our next unit. This short unit encompasses angles, triangles, and polygons. We started with angles. I wanted to do a fun, interactive element to our journals, so we made angles using two coloured pieces of construction paper cut into arrows, and attached them to our pages with a brass fastener. I had them glue the bottom arrow to the page, leaving the second arrow free to move into whatever angle needed. We practiced how to measure an angle, then I had them create angles of various degrees. The red colour made it very easy for me to see who had the concept right away, and who needed a little extra assistance.

We added a foldable underneath our interactive angle tool. It was a three fold foldable. We wrote the titles of the angles on the outside. Underneath each flap we had a diagram of the angle, a definition, and examples from the classroom. The students really enjoyed finding the different examples in the classroom.

The students also completed a "left side" for this activity, too. For the reflection, a lot of my students completed a picture of some sort of picture with the different angles labelled. But one of my favourite reflections was this girl who wrote a little song to remember the different angles.

I'm so excited about the evolution of my math journals!!! My mind is already swimming with ideas for next year. Thank-you SO much, Mor!

Happy Sunday!!!
