Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Analyzing Angles Inside and Outside of Triangles. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

Corresponding angles are congruent (same side of the transversal and same relative place on the parallel lines; above the parallel lines and to the left of the transversal).

Vertical angles are congruent (share a vertex and a side).

Alternate interior angles are congruent (every other angle inside the parallel lines).

Alternate exterior angles are congruent (every other angle outside the parallel lines).

Non-congruent special angles are supplementary.

Given two (interior) angles in a triangle, their sum must be less than 180 degrees. If the sum were equal to 180, then the triangle would have two parallel sides, and thus no third vertex.

Given a triangle, cut the three angles and place side by side to show that all three angles when adjacent form a 180 angle or a straight line.

Two parallel lines cut by a transversal create a series of angles that have a relationship.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

If you are at a point on a straight line, how many degrees would you turn as you rotate from facing one direction on the line to the other direction? How many degrees are there in a triangle? How do you determine missing angles in a triangle? What is true about vertical angles?

After the Game

What is mean to say that vertical angles are congruent? What does it mean for angles to be supplementary? What does it mean for angles to be complimentary? You are running laps in gym class in a triangular path - you make a 40 degree turn and a 90 degree turn - what is the angle of your final turn? You are going straight and turn 80 degrees, but immediately stop before moving on, realizing that you actually meant to go straight after all - how many more degrees do you need to turn to continue in the straight direction?
