Scaffolding Angles (Secondary)

$5.00

Engage even your most reticent students with their own names as their entry-way into the glorious world of angles. Watch their smiles as they suddenly understand the connection between themselves and the lines in their math books. Try this simple yet illuminating activity and you’ll want it for years to come!

If you have students who are more linguistic, more in touch with Humanities, more comfortable with words or music or the arts, it’s possible that they haven’t found a way to embrace numbers or see their relance in their lives. For a maths teacher or students who are passionate about numbers, this seems unfathomable. Numbers are glorious! Numbers determine practically all of our decisions (probability, fractions, percentages, etc.). How can you feel so indifferent to educating yourself about such a fascinating and useful branch of study?

Yet there are students like this and we need to entice them with colours, with illustrations, with ways of seeing math in ways that are just numerical. Intrigued?
