board.

AND
student activities
for each component of the lesson. Include important higher order thinking questions and/or
prompts.
**NOTE: Pre-test will be given at the end of
class the day before this unit on Triangles and
Angles begins.
-At the beginning of class, tell the students to get
an iPad, a protractor, ruler, a graphing white board,
dry erase marker, eraser, and a transparency sheet.

-Students will get the materials and tools as

instructed.

-Ask students what the following are, and if they

can point it out on the image on the board:
Adjacent angles
Vertical angles
Supplementary angles
Complementary angles

-Students will answer based on what they can

recall.

-Since this group has worked with these types of

angles before, just not in about a year, I will allow
the students to play a review game for about 15
minutes.
Review Game:
-All the students will have access to their own iPad
that the school provides. After each student has
gotten their iPad, they will find the IXL App.
After opening the app, the students will tap their
finger on 8th Grade, then Geometry, then work
through:
Q1- Identifying Complementary,
Supplementary, Vertical, Adjacent, and
Congruent Angles
Q2- Find Measures of Complementary,
Supplementary, Vertical, and Adjacent
Angles

15
min

-Students will open up the app on their iPad and

open up each section given and play the game for
15 minutes, and move to the next section as the
teacher directs.

- After 15 minutes of this review game, ask the

students to close out of the app and put their iPads
aside. Then have the students pull out their
graphing whiteboards.

-Have the students graph various angles and

triangles on their white boards, giving them just the
coordinates. (The problems are included in this
lesson plan). Otherwise, feel free to make your own
angles and measure them as you go. Give the
students 2 or 3 examples of graphing coordinates
and measuring the angle between them.
Have students graph the following and measure
angle BAC:
A-(0,1), B-(4,1), C-(1,7)
A-(1,2), B-(4,2), C-(2,5)
A-(1,3), B-(3,5), C-(-2,4)
- Now, give the students 2 to 3 examples of
coordinates to create angles, but have them perform
transformations on them, measuring the angle
before and after the transformations in-between.
Example of Transformations:
Rotation
Reflection
Translation
-Have students graph the following and measure
angle BAC before and after each transformation:
A-(0,0), B-(4,0), C-(0,7)
A-(1,1), B-(4,1), C-(1,5)
A-(2,0), B-(5,2), C-(-1,3)
- Now, give the students 2 coordinates to graph,
then have them create their own angle with a 3rd
point and measure the angle BAC. Have students
graph the following and measure angle BAC:

-Students will put their iPads away and grab their

white boards, markers, transparency sheets, and
erasers.
-Students will graph the coordinates on their white
boards, measure the angles, and hold their board up
for the teacher to see.

-Students will continue to use their white boards to

graph the coordinates and draw the angles, but they
will also need to use their transparency sheets to
perform and help visualize the transformations.

A-(0,0), B-(3,-1), C-(x,y)

-Then have students give these coordinates to their
table mate, and have their table mate graph the 3rd
point and measure the angle.

5 min

- Give students a worksheet to identify angles as

adjacent, vertical, complementary, and/or
supplementary, and have them solve for missing
angle measurements. This can be started in class.
Worksheet is attached; hand out in class and assign
sections for homework depending on how much
the class worked through.

Closure
(conclusion,
culmination,
wrap-up)

- Students will graph the coordinate points and play

around with graphing different points.

-Students will begin the work sheet and finish the

rest for homework.

-Summarize for the students that we reviewed

adjacent, vertical, complementary, and
supplementary angles, and we figured out how to
measure, move, create, and determine angles on a
coordinate plane.

-Students can report one thing they learned by

raising their hand.

- Teacher can give out/assign the homework sheet.

-Students will take worksheet for classwork and

finish for homework.

Your reflection about the lesson, including evidence(s) of student learning and engagement, as well as ideas for improvement
for next time. (Write this after teaching the lesson, if you had a chance to teach it. If you did not teach this lesson, focus on the
process of preparing the lesson.)
I quickly learned that this group needs a lot of practice problems in order to understand the concept. I ended up skipping the
section where I had students graphing angles and performing transitions in order to do more practice problems to solve for
various different angles using the angle types they had just learned. These students need examples and repetitive practice in
order for them to grasp a new concept. To teach this lesson again, I would leave transitions on angles as an extra activity, time
permitting, and I would give the students more problems to work on as I walk around the class to check their work and help
them when necessary. However, this style is unique for this specific group of 8 th graders, so it will need to readjusted for a
different group of students. On a positive note, the students reached all the goals in this lesson, and showed me they learned
the material when they were correctly solving problems on their worksheets without help. Overall, this is a good lesson, I just
needed to refine my methods to better fit this class.
