Home for the Holidays: Navigating with Angles

Lesson Overview

This lesson helps 7th graders apply their knowledge of angle relationships (supplementary, complementary, vertical, adjacent) to real-world travel scenarios. They'll write and solve equations to find unknown angles, imagining themselves navigating roads and flight paths during the holiday season.

Duration

Less than 1 hour

Lesson Type
