Karen Casselman Lesson Plan 3 – SMART Math Tools Software INTC 5320 February 16, 2010  classify angles as acute, obtuse, right or straight. Student will be able to measure and construct angles using a protractor. Students will be able to utilize the SMART Math Tools software protractor to measure angles using the interactive white board.  our everyday life. Students will understand that geometry offers powerful tools for representing and solving problems in all areas of mathematics, in other school subjects, and in everyday applications. Students will understand that there are appropriate units for measuring angles. Students will understand that what we measure affects how we measure it.   knowledge of how to name angles. Demonstrate how to use a protractor to measure an angle. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Allow the students to measure and construct various angles using the protractor and the <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">SMART Math Tools Software. Indicate the vertex point in the lower middle part of the <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">protractor. Show the zero line for the outside scale and the zero line for the inside scale. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Show the outside and the inside scale. Use the protractor in the SMART Math Tools software to <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">drag angles open and closed and discuss the two different measurements on the tool. Discuss <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">how to tell which number to use (by classifying the angle or by working with the protractor from <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">0). Use several different angles and have the students construct their own on the SMART <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Board. Measure angles in both directions and try the two different zero start points. Use the <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">ruler in the Math Tools Software to construct two rays as angles and measure angles of various <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">degrees. //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Vocabulary: //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> Vertex, Angle Symbol, Degrees, Protractor, Straight, Acute, Right and Obtuse Angles. //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Materials needed: //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> Protractor, paper, communicators, SMART Board and SMART Math <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Notebook Tools (available for a 30 day free trial) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">virtual protractor and ruler in the Math Tools Software.
