TEACHERS’ NOTES
This book is designed to complement the geometry component of the space math strand of the curriculum. Itprovides a basic introduction to new concepts as well as activities that will consolidate the skills and ideasassociated with introductory geometry.
The book is designed to be used sequentially as certain skills need to be mastered in order to complete someof the later activities. Many of the activity pages explain the various mathematical concepts andprovide examples; however, it is assumed that these ideas will be discussed in class prior to students completing the worksheets.
The activities in this book cover the major learning areas such as identifying different types of angles, using aprotractor to measure angles, using known rules to calculate the size of angles and constructing angles usingeither a compass or a protractor.
Angles in a wide range of 2D objects are explored, specifically, the angles of scalene, isosceles and equilateraltriangles, parallel and intersecting lines and angles in a circle. In addition, there are several pages that applymany of these concepts to angles in everyday situations.
The book also explores the mathematics of circles examining features such as chords, arcs, angles and various shapes in circles.
Additional materials:Before starting this unit of work, ensure that each student has access to a compass, a protractor and a ruler. Itis probably best to use pencils rather than pens for construction activities.
Important notes about diagrams:Occasionally some angles may not appear to be what the answers specify. This is due to slight variations inthe printing process and, unfortunately, these differences are beyond our control.
Rays in diagrams would normally have arrow-heads but they have been omitted in this book to allow more room.
Also, many 90˚ angles have not been marked with squares to allow diagrams to be more clear. Angles thatlook 90˚ generally are 90˚ such as those on pages 7, 14 and 31.
Page 5Page 5
LOOKING AT DIFFERENT ANGLESAn angle is the amount of turn betweentwo lines around a common point.The lines are known as rays and the pointat which they meet is called a vertex.
A right angle is an angle that measures exactly 90˚They are often marked with a square at the angle.
An acute angle is an angle less than 90˚. Draw two more examples below.
An obtuse angle measures between 90˚ and 180˚. Draw two more examples below.
❏ Tick the angles below that are right angles. Draw a circle around the acute angles and put a cross insidethe angles that are obtuse.

Most protractors number the angles bothclockwise and counter-clockwise.
Make sure that you start at 0 and followthe correct set of numbers.
MEASURING ANGLES 1Angles are measured in degrees. This is usuallyexpressed with this symbol ˚. A protractoris used to measure angles.Using a protractor follow the example below and then complete the activities.
To measure an angle:1. Place the center of the protractor on the corner or sharpest point (vertex) of the angle.
2. Turn the protractor so that the base line runs along one of the lines that forms the angle.
3. You can then read the size of the angle from the position of the second line. For example this angle isapproximately _______˚
❏ Measure the angles below and write down the type of angle for each one, such as acute, obtuse or right.

CONSTRUCTING ANGLES 1Angles can be constructed by using a protractor.To make an angle of 53˚, place your protractor on the line PR below so that the middle point is at the end of the line(P) and the 0˚ mark points to R. Carefully find 53˚ on your protractor using the scale that starts at “0” and mark thepoint at the end. Rule a line to this point.

CONSTRUCTING ANGLES 2It is possible to construct some angles without the use of a protractor. By carefully using a compass we canmake exact angles using simple rules. The easiest angle to construct is probably a 60˚ angle.
❏ On the line JK below, place the compass point at the J and stretch the pencil end to K. Without changingthe width, draw an arc. Repeat this step using K as the compass point. Where these lines intersect draw aline. This angle should now measure exactly 60˚.
To make a 30˚ angle we can bisect this 60˚ angle, again using only a compass. To bisect an angle or a linemeans to divide it into two equal sections.
Note: Make sure you do notchange the width of the compasssetting in your working.
❏ Bisect this right angle to make a 45˚ angle using the method above.
❏ Measure the angle below. Bisect this angle using your compass.What are the sizes of the new angles?
original angle = ............˚
new angles = ............˚
Page 24Page 24
ANGLES AND DIRECTIONS 1❏ Look at the path in the grid. Follow the path and read the directions as you go.The path starts at X and heads north for two squares.A turn was then made to the left at a 90˚ angle and thenafter moving one square, another turn was made at a 90˚angle to the right also moving one square. The next turnwas a 45˚ turn to the left and moving along two squares.A 45˚ turn to the left was then made and continued for only1 square. A 90˚ turn to the left was made and the path moved5 squares. Another 90˚ turn to the left was made andcontinued 2 squares to the end of the path.
Find the treasure!❏ Now that you’re an expert in following directions find where the treasure is buried below.Start at the X and move right for 3 cm and then turn 90˚ to the left. Continue for 4 cm and then make a 90˚turn to the right and continue for 5 cm. Turn 45˚ to the right and travel 1 cm. Now turn 45˚ to the rightand move 1 cm. Make a 90˚ turn to the right and move 8 cm. Again turn 90˚ to the right and move 3 cm.Turn left at a 90˚ angle and move 1 cm. Mark another X where the treasure is buried.
Describe in words the path you would take from your classroom to the library giving the directions andapproximate angles. For example, head south for 30 meters and make a right turn at the office. Walk for 20meters and then make a 45˚ turn to the left, etc.
