Essential Understandings
Concrete:
- Given an angle measure, draw an angle.
- Recognize that a triangle consists of three angles that total 180 degrees.
- Recognize that the angle measure of a straight line is 180 degrees.
- Use a protractor to measure the missing angle.
- Understand the following concepts and vocabulary: acute, obtuse, right, straight line, transversal, vertical angles, corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, supplementary angles.
- Match or identify angle measurements.
- Describe triangles and parallel lines by telling about their shape, sides, lines, and angles.
- Use appropriate tools as needed.
- Use addition or subtraction to determine the missing angle measurement in triangles. (E.g., Angle A = 60 degrees, Angle B = 40 degrees, Angle A + Angle B = 100 degrees, therefore Angle C = 180 – 100 = 80 degrees).
- Identify vertical angles, corresponding angles, alternate interior angles.Understand that the angles are congruent.

Cluster:
Understand congruence and similarity using physical models, transparencies, or geometry software. (Major 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. |
