Activity:
1. Have the students work individually with his or
her own set of pattern blocks.
2. Have the student make a chart to record their
data: the shape, the number of angles and the degree of the angles.
3. Have the student write a brief description of
how he/she determined the angle.
Closure: Have the students measure their angle to
check their accuracy and then record the measurement on their chart.
Assessment: The students would turn in their data
