This
lesson was developed in the course Teaching
with WebQuests , a course
offered by the Teacher
Education Institute. In
this lesson students will discover what
acute, obtuse, straight, complementary, supplementary, adjacent,
vertical, corresponding, alternate interior, and alternate exterior
angles are. Once they feel confident in their own ability to
describe these angles, then will then apply the rules of algebra to
solve for angle measures. Students will practice how to solve
these problems by visiting a number of websites, and then they will
create their own problems incorporating algebra into geometry. So
many students believe that mathematical topics exist separate from each
other, and I want them to see that mathematics is constantly
overlapping eachother whether it is algebra and geometry or logic and
their everyday lives.
