Use facts about supplementary, complementary, vertical, and adjacent angles in a multi-step problem to write and solve simple equations for an unknown angle in a figure.
General Information
Subject Area: Mathematics
Grade: 7
Domain-Subdomain: Geometry
Cluster: Level 2: Basic Application of Skills & Concepts
Cluster: Solve real-life and mathematical problems involving angle measure, area, surface area, and volume. (Additional Cluster) -

Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.

Angles, angles, everywhere!:

This lesson allows students to discover complementary and supplementary angles on their own. Students will measure the degrees for sets of angles. They will then use their knowledge of straight, right, obtuse, and acute angles to make connections to complementary, supplementary, adjacent, and vertical angles. This lesson will complement all different learning styles because it provides kinesthetic, auditory, and visual learning.

Kissing Vs:

This lesson uses a paper cutting activity to teach vertical angles. The lesson provides examples in which students must solve equations to find missing measures.

Type: Lesson Plan

What's Your Angle?:

Students, through a hands-on-activity and guided practice, will explore parallel lines intersected by a transversal and the measurements and relationships of the 8 angles created. They will solve for missing measurements when given a single angle's measurement. They will also use the relationships between angles to set up equations and solve for a variable.
