Students might confuse which angles are congruent when they cut
and paste them (they could either use incorrect angles or just say
theyre close so theyre pretty much the same)
Students might confuse between congruent and supplementary
Students might take a long time finding the correct congruencies
because they might go through every single angle multiple times to
double check and they may not see a pattern

cut by a transversal. The DDT videos are similar to DDR in that they have moves along
the bottom of the screen that scroll up to music and are to be executed as they pass
through the box at the top of the screen.
Students will use the above congruent and supplementary angle pairs like vertical angles
in place of left, right, etc. dance moves like in the traditional DDR game.
Play the game with the students, record, and enjoy! Invite students in to play as they
walk by the class!
Resources needed / used
Paper and pencil
Scissors (at least 1 per group)
Parallel lines cut by a transversal diagram (at least 2 per group)
Projector or TV screen with the ability to connect to computer monitor
Computer/Laptop and speakers or ability to play sound from videos
Dance Dance Transversal Videos
Large pieces of paper, markers, and tape (big enough to create a personal dance space)
OR cement floors able to draw on with chalk (and chalk)
Assessment Tasks
and Criteria:
Students will be assessed while they are finding the angle pairs,
during group discussion, and most importantly while playing the
game because this will allow the teachers to test students implicit
understanding to see if they truly get it rather than if they think of
all of the options one by one.
Future plans:
If there is enough time, we will do the DDT competition but if
theres not enough time or the students need more time
exploring/practicing with the rules we will do DDT next class period.
If we finish then next class period will be a review of all of the angle
properties and problems that we have explored over the past
couple of weeks.
