The Angles Come and meet the Angle family... http://www.primaryresources.co.uk/maths/mathsE7.htm
“Hi! We’re the Angles, we’re one family, but all very different, so let us tell you a bit about ourselves!”
Mr. Obtuse Angle This is Obtuse. He’s the husband of the family. He’s bigger than Right and Acute . He’s always inside, and he always measures between 90° and 180° (depending on how much dinner he’s eaten!)
Mrs. Right Angle This is me. I’m Mrs. Right Angle. I always measure 90°, my favourite shape is a square, and whatsmore, no matter what my husband tells you, I’m always right!
Baby Acute Angle This is baby Acute angle. Isn’t he cute?! He loves a hug, and always has his arms out for cuddles! He’s the smallest of the family, measuring less than 90°. http://www.primaryresources.co.uk/maths/mathsE7.htm
Parallel • These type of lines stay the same distance apart for their whole length. They do not need to be straight or the same length.
Perpendicular • A line that is drawn in a right angle to another line . • In solid shapes edges could be at a right angle to one another. • Faces could also be at right angles to one another.
Volume 5cm3
Capacity Sort • Collect various containers, with one marked as the “target.” Have students sort the collection into those that hold more than, less than, or about the same. (You could use a Venn diagram to display.) • Create a recording sheet on which the container is listed and a place to circle “holds more”, “holds less”, “holds the same” is listed. • Have students use beans or rice to compare the volumes. Van De Walle, at el> Elementary and Middle School Mathematics, pg. 381
Example—5th Grade How many fit in the box?
Examples: • Sort the shapes into 3 categories (one set of parallel sides, 2 sets of parallel sides, no sets of parallel sides). Do the same for perpendicular lines and various angles. • Point out right, acute, and obtuse angles in the cards. Do the same for parallel and perpendicular lines. • Measure the sides of the square and rectangle and find the area and perimeter. (They will have learned to measure in 3rd grade.)
Quadrilateral Parallelogram Two pairs of parallel sides Trapezoid One pair of parallel sides Rectangle All Angles Equal (90°) Rhombus All Sides Equal Square All Angles Equal andAll Sides Equal
