Feedback for angle pair tasks
Task 1:
Students don’t know what the vertex is. Use the graphic organizer which should have the first seven
vocabulary words completed.
Students are not placing vertex on top of vertex. Use the document camera to show placement of the
angles when trying to identify if they are congruent
Students say that the angles are not congruent because the side lengths are not the same. Direct
students to the fact that it is at the vertex that the angle is created and the measure is determined
Students do not match vertex to vertex when identifying supplementary relationship. Use the
document camera to show placement of vertex next to vertex.
Task 2:
Students can’t find a definition for a given vocabulary word. Have dictionaries available. Students may
use their wi-fi devices to get more definitions.
Task 3:
Students can’t make the connection between the definition and the math application. Teacher can
guide students using real world examples. (alternate – use team sports – guide students toward the fact
that an alternate plays the same position- so the angles have to be congruent)
Direct students to their pieces to clarify congruent and supplementary relationships
Corresponding angles appear to be the most difficult – talk about a live broadcast and how it is bringing
you the action from another spot to your home. Guide discussion to include how the broadcast is
allowing us to “occupy” the same spot as the reporter. Thus getting to the definition for corresponding
angles.
