Using a Protractor

Using a Protractor
This is a protractor, it helps you measure angles (in degrees): Protractors are fun and easy to use Have a look at this animation (press the play button) to see how to make a neat angle using a protractor and ruler: Measuring Have a Go Yourself! Try to measure the angles A, B, C and D inside this shape. Be careful which angle you read from the protractor. Hint: if you get them all correct, they will add up to 360° The answers are ... no, that would spoil the fun!

Interactive angles teaching tool acute,obtuse,measure with protractor This activity allows manipulation and investigation of various types of angles. It can be used at a variety of different grade levels. At its most basic for teaching about types of angles, acute, obtuse or reflex. For more advanced use to create angle problems in which the missing letter angle values have to be found. You can click and drag the handles to change the angles and the values will updated. A built in protractor can be used to practice measuring angles.

Photon Flash Player for iPad - Flash Video & Games plus Private Web Browser Art with Mrs. Nguyen: Radial Paper Relief Sculptures (4th/5th) For this lesson we began by taking about what symmetry is and the difference between linear symmetry (1 line of symmetry) and radial symmetry (more than 1 line of symmetry). Then we talked about what a sculpture is (a piece of artwork you can see from all sides - it is 3-dimensional) and what a relief "sculpture" is (a piece of artwork that has depth on the surface but is not meant to be seen from all sides). Once students understood the principles behind radial symmetry and sculpture we began creating our very own radial paper relief sculptures! Students started by folding a piece of 12"x12" black construction paper diagonally both ways and vertical and horizontally (to create an 'X' crease and a '+' crease). Making these creases makes creating a radial design SO much easier because it gives you guidelines to work with. Once their papers had been folded and their names written, we sat them aside.

Students can use them on their computers or devices at home or in-school so that students do not need to physically share and use materials that would need to be regularly sanitized. The use of widely-used commercial mathematically structured manipulatives originated with the design and creation of Cuisenaire Rods in the early 1950s , although many other math materials, such as Froebel’s gifts and some Montessori math materials had been in use before this.
