Introduction

• This is a webquest designed for students to learn
  the concepts of complimentary and supplementary
  angles. This webquest allows students to use the
  internet to practice and learn the concept of
  complimentary and supplementary angles.

4
Learners

• Grade 9 - Geometry or Interactive Math Program
  (IMP) Level 1 or 2
• Learners should know what a right angle looks
  like, and the symbol that represents a right
  angle
• Learners should also know that a straight line
  forms a 180 angle
• When teaching this lesson an easy way for
  students to remember the definitions is that c
  comes before s in the alphabet, and 90 comes
  before 180, therefore complementary angles add up
  to 90 and supplementary angles add up to 180

5
Curriculum Standards

• Tennessee State Standards
• Geometry
• Standard 1 - Mathematical Processes
• SPI 3108.1.4 Use definitions, basic postulates,
  and theorems about points, lines, angles, and
  planes to write/complete proofs and/or to solve
  problems.

6
Process

• 1-2 class periods
• Grouping should be at the discretion of the
  teacher, if students are put into groups, should
  be no more than 3
• Teacher must be aware of how to use the internet
  to implement this webquest
• Students may run into problems applying the
  definition to word problems or other applications
  of the concepts
• Therefore teachers must be prepared to give the
  students many practice problems

7
Teaching Resources

• Introduction to New Concepts
• Practice with Supplementary Angles
• Practice with Complementary Angles
• Student Discovery Sheet

8
Evaluation

• A teacher would know if this WebQuest was
  successful by the students completion of the in
  class examples after exploring the concepts on
  their own, and by how well the students complete
  their homework and apply the new concepts

Conclusion

• This WebQuest allows students to discover the new
  information and concepts on their own by using
  the internet
• It is very important that students know the
  definition of complementary and supplementary
  angles, and it will help them to remember these
  definitions by discovering the information on
  their own, rather than having a teacher tell them
  the definitions and say you have to memorize
  these.
• Once the students discover the new concepts, they
  will then have a chance to apply the new
  concepts, and if they have any questions they
  have the chance to ask them during the class time
• It is important that students get a good grasp on
  these concepts for the next lesson, which would
  be on angles of parallel lines

Introduction

• You will be visiting two specific websites to
  discover the concepts of complementary and
  supplementary angles. The first website is a
  short movie explaining the definitions, and
  showing you examples of both types of angles.
  The second website will allow you to practice
  viewing angles and allows you to complete some
  problems right on the internet. Once you have a
  good grasp on the new concepts, you will complete
  some in-class examples applying these two
  concepts, and you will then complete a worksheet
  for homework giving you more practice with the
  concepts.

14
Task

• Student Discovery Handout

15
Process

• Students must first visit the two websites, read
  the information, and try some of the internet
  examples
• Students must fill out the Student Discovery
  Handout as they are learning the material online
• Once the students feel they have a good grasp on
  the material, they will complete the in-class
  examples
• Students will then complete a worksheet for
  homework giving them more practice

16
Conclusion

• To conclude this lesson the teacher will go over
  your homework sheet the following day, and if
  there is still some confusion, there will be a
  few more in class examples to clear up the
  problems. Throughout the next few lessons, until
  there is a quiz on this topic, you will have at
  least one or two complimentary and supplementary
  angle problems on homework assignments.
