General Information
Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.
Test Item Specifications
Items may contain whole number degree measures within 0° and 360°. For identification, angles are less than 360°. For construction, angles are less than 180°. Items may not require estimating the exact measures of angles.

Coding Geometry Challenge # 12 & 13 | This set of geometry challenges focuses on creating circles and calculating area/circumference as students problem solve and think as they learn to code using block coding software. Student will need to use their knowledge of the attributes of polygons and mathematical principals of geometry to accomplish the given challenges. The challenges start out fairly simple and move to more complex situations in which students can explore at their own pace or work as a team. Computer Science standards are seamlessly intertwined with the math standards while providing “Step it up!” and “Jump it up!” opportunities to increase rigor |
Angles All Around Us | This lesson will provide students with the opportunity to see angles all around them. Students will be able to see how and where geometry exist in the real world. Please note that this lesson focuses on identifying acute, obtuse, right, straight and reflex angles. |
Snowflake Geometry: No Two Alike! | In this lesson students will make snowflakes, promoting creativity and self-expression, and use them to identify geometric terms. It also gives them an opportunity to follow a sequenced set of instructions for a given outcome. |
Angles All Around Us | This is a lesson that introduces right, acute, obtuse, reflex, straight angles in a fun and challenging way. |
Points, Lines, and Angles, Oh My! | In this lesson, students work to identify points, lines, line segments, rays, angles and perpendicular and parallel lines. Students create webs of yarn and analyze the web for geometric properties listed above. A teacher can select which vocabulary terms are appropriate for the class. |
Angle Your Way Around | In this lesson students will be introduced to the protractor and benchmark angles, practice reading angles properly, make estimates on angle degrees, measure angles precisely, and participate in a small group activity using their new skills. |
Runway Rotations | Students will use small paper airplanes to model rotations required to turn onto a runway. Students will rotate planes 45, 90, 180, 270, and 360 degrees. Students will identify and describe the results of rotations using benchmark angles. |
