(Miss Steltzer/4 th grade mathematics/TBD)

I. TOPIC:

Understanding points, lines, line segments, rays, right, acute, and obtuse angles, and parallel
and perpendicular lines.

II. OBJECTIVES/STANDARDS:

Given definitions, examples, and practice with each type of figure, TSWBAT draw and identify
points, lines, line segments, rays, right, acute, and obtuse angles, and parallel and
perpendicular lines with 85% accuracy.

Standard - CC.2.3.4.A.2

Classify two-dimensional figures by properties of their lines and angles.

Eligible Content - M04.C-G.1.1.1 Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute,
and obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines. Identify these in two-dimensional figures.

III. TEACHING PROCEDURES:

1) Introduction (Anticipatory Set) – When students enter the classroom, have the Lumio
slide that says ‘draw what you know about lines and angles’ up on the board. Have students
take some time at the beginning of class to draw on a piece of paper, then share what they drew
with someone sitting next to them.

2) Development 1- Start by explaining a point using the definition on the slideshow – A

point is specific location on a geometric plane with no size, shape, or dimension. Explain that
they are named after letters. (Point A, Point B, Point C…)

3) Guided Practice – Pass out 1 inch radius light-colored construction paper circles to each
student. Tell them to label their “point” with the first letter of their name. (it does not matter if
there are some repeats). Have students tape their point anywhere on a large graph that the
teacher will have drawn on the chalkboard.

4) Development 2 – Explain Lines, Rays, and Line segments using the definitions on the Lumio
slideshow. A line is a straight path that extends infinitely in both directions. A ray is a straight
path with an endpoint that extends infinitely in one direction. A line segment is a straight path
with two endpoints and a finite length. Give students other examples/hints to help them
remember if necessary.

- A ray is like a ray of the sun. It comes out of the middle and goes in one direction.
- what does segment mean? It is just one piece of something.

5) Guided Practice - Have students review flashcards on Lumio.

6) Development 3 - Explain what an angle is with definition. An angle is a geometric figure made
of two rays that share an endpoint.

7) Guided Practice - Have students review with label activity on Lumio.

8) Development 4 - Explain Acute, Obtuse, and Right Angles. Talk about the little square that is
in most right angles and how that stands for 90 degrees. Define Acute as less than 90 degrees,
obtuse as more than 90 degrees, and right as exactly 90 degrees. Give students the memory tip
that cute things are little, so an acute angle is the smallest.

9) Guided Practice - Have students play the super sort game on Lumio.

10) Development 5 - Explain parallel and perpendicular lines. Parallel lines never cross.
Compare them to train tracks. Give students the memory tip that the word parallel has parallel
lines in it (ll). Perpendicular lines have a 90-degree angle at the spot where they cross, like
some windows.

11) Guided Practice - have students play the memory match game in pairs.

12) Independent Practice/Assessment - Students will complete the google form quiz.

13) Closure - For three minutes, students will look back to what they drew in the beginning of
class and add to it, correct mistakes, or add new things that they learned.

V. ADAPTATIONS/PLAN MODIFICATIONS:

Allow students to practice drawing the different types of lines, angles, and other items if screens
are an issue for them. Enlarge the font on the Lumio slideshow if necessary. Have a few
challenge problems for bonus points on the google form for students who have a greater
understanding of the concepts.
VI. EVALUATION:

1. Were the memory tips helpful to the students? Did the students take time to look at the
label reveal and flashcards or did they just glance at them? Was the point activity helpful
or a waste of time?
2. Was the pacing of the lesson right? Should there be more or less activities? Should I
add in any more or less vocabulary?
