Send students around the classroom to find various angles to measure and notate. Split the class into groups and give each group a list of shapes and angles to find. Tell them to list the object, its shape, the angle degree and the angle type. After they are done, give them construction paper, rulers, pencils, scissors and glue. Have them re-create the shapes from their objects on construction paper. They then cut out the shapes and glue them to a larger piece of construction paper and label each shape, including the object name, the shape, the angle degree and the angle type. Hang these throughout the room to show off your students' work.
Students will need a plastic angle measuring triangle to measure their angles. They will also need a ruler to help measure the length of the objects. Get out several different colored sheets of construction paper. Hand out several pencils to each group as well as colored pencils. Students will use these to draw and label their shapes. Each group will also need one pair of scissors per student to cut out the shapes. Give the group glue or tape to help attach the shapes to their construction paper.
Create a list of angle types using construction paper and hang this on the board for your students to use as a guide. Put all your materials in small plastic containers for each group to help keep them stored in one place. Count the number of students in your class and create equal sized groups. For example, if you have 30 students, you could have six groups of five students or 10 groups of three students. Divide the class up anyway you see fit. Let each group pick a group leader to help focus the group. The students must listen to the leader as long as the leader isn't making any unfair demands, such as having one student do all the work.
Hand out the plastic containers to your groups and explain the project. Show them the "angle guide" on the board and let them get started. Give them about 10 to 15 minutes to measure their angles. Monitor their activities to make sure they are behaving properly. Tell the groups to sit down after the measuring phase has passed. Give them another 10 to 15 minutes to complete the angle posters. Let them create one for each group or individually, depending on time and their behavior.
