Introduction:
Learning Goal: Today, we will learn to describe and identify polygons and quadrilaterals by their
geometric properties.
- K-W-L chart about geometric shapes
- ask students questions: what is a polygon? what is a quadrilateral?
- what are some properties (how to describe) of polygons? (eg. sides, symmetry, angles, vertices
etc.)
Lesson:
- demonstrate activity: each student will receive a piece of paper with a polygon on it. Students will
be paired up and will take turns describing their polygon to their partner without explicitly stating
the polygon's name.
- eg. if I got a "square" as my polygon, I can't say "square". I need to describe the geometric
properties of the square to my partner.
"It has 4 equal sides."
"It has 4 right angles."
"It has 4 vertices."
What am I?
- Students need to write the description on the back of their shape sheet (will be collected as ticket
out the door)
- Once their partner guesses the correct polygon, they will switch and the other partner will descrie
his/her shape.
Time:
5 Min.
Groupings:
Whole class
Extension / Wrap-up:
- class discussion: what terms did you use in your shape descriptions?
- any terms that were confusing?
- students are to hand in their shape riddles at the end of class as ticket out the door

Introduction:
Learning Goal: Students will be able to identify acute, right, straight and obtuse angles.
Groupings:
Whole class
- ask students how to distinguish between a square and a rhombus?

- what are angles?
- what kind of angles do squares have? what kind of angles do rhombuses have?
(rhombuses have 4 equal sides but no right angles; squares have 4 equal sides and 4 right angles)
Show video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALhv3Rlydig
Time:
20 Min.
Lesson:
- Students will be asked to draw their names in angular letter format and asked to identify all the
angles in each letter of their name:
Groupings:
Individual/Par
tners
Eg. Ms. Lu
M = 3 acute angles
S = 4 right angles
L = 1 right angle
U = 2 right angle
After identifying all the angles in their names, students are to switch with a partner so their partner
can double check their work. Did they miss any angles? Are the angles correct?
Students can use popsicle sticks or toothpicks as manipulatives/visual guides

Time:
20-30 Min.
Groupings:
Whole class
- give each student a piece of paper

- ask them to fold it into quarters (hamburger, then hotdog)
- what kind of angle does the paper now have? (right angle)
- ask the students to fold the paper diagonally in half. what kind of angle is it? (acute)
- ask students to open the paper so it's only folder once in half hamburger style
- what angle is that? there are 2 right angles. How much is one right angle? If there are 2, how
many degrees is that? (90+90=180)
- this is called the "straight angle"
Lesson:
- teacher will have pictures of different items on the board
- what kind of angles do the students notice from the photos?
- how do you know it's an acute angle? what is it not a right angle? (eg "it's half a right angle")
- what kind of benchmarks can you use to help you sort angles? (eg. fingers, folding paper etc.)
- give grade 4's sorting worksheet to complete
- Grade 5 students will continue with measuring angles
- how are angles measured?
- introduce the protractor
- demonstrate how to use a protractor
- give grade 5's measuring angles worksheet to complete

Lesson:
- demonstrate how to construct an angle
1. draw a horizontal base line
2. line up protractor's origin point with vertex/starting point of line and the zero line\
3. follow the zero
4. make a mark at the appropriate angle
5. connect the mark with a line to the base line
- draw 2 shapes that are the same but different size
- ask students: what do you notice?
- shapes that are the same but different size = similar
- draw 2 shapes that are exactly the same
- ask students: what do you notice?
- shapes that are exactly the same, identical = congruent
