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
- Solving problems relating to using the measures of the interior angles of polygons.
- Solving problems relating to using the measures of the exterior angles of polygons.
Items should use angles measured in degrees only.

Angles, angles, everywhere! | This is an introductory lesson that allows students to explore complementary and supplementary angles and their relationships. Students will measure the degrees for sets of angles. They will then use their knowledge of straight, right, obtuse, and acute angles to make connections to complementary, supplementary, adjacent, and vertical angles. This lesson provides opportunities for kinesthetic, auditory, and visual learning. |
Kissing “V”s | This lesson uses a paper-cutting activity to teach vertical angles. The lesson provides examples in which students must solve equations to find missing measures. |
What's Your Angle? | Through a hands-on-activity and guided practice, students will explore parallel lines intersected by a transversal and the measurements and relationships of the angles created. They will solve for missing measurements when given a single angle's measurement. They will also use the relationships between angles to set up equations and solve for a variable. |
