4th Grade: Angles

Angles will be introduced for the first time to our 4th graders this year. Most things that are taught in 4th grade students have been exposed to before in some context, but this is completely new. They are going to be so excited to be learning more advanced geometry.

There are a lot of really great read alouds that can be used to introduce angles, I really like Sir Circumference and the Great Knight of Angleland. It is also available on You Tube!

Here is a great game students can play with a partner, that will help them describe angles verbally. 

PBS has some great resources including a full lesson plan, videos, worksheets, and ideas for instruction. 

Here is a great anchor chart for angles:

Teaching with a Mountain View

The Eureka Math lessons for angles are pretty strong and have some great resources.

This is also a really great lesson to make a foldable  and encourage students to go back and study the different types. 

Hopefully some of this will be helpful in your planning :)
