This webquest is designed to introduce you to the exciting world of angles.  You will apply your knowledge of angles to several fun activities.  In order to complete this webquest, you will need pencil, paper, protractor, ruler, and a compass.  After completing the activities, you will be able to recognize the types of angles and construct your own angles.

What You Will Learn 

You will be able to:

    define different types of angles;
    construct your own angles;
    test your angle knowledge; and
    draw different geometric shapes using equilateral triangles.

Find it here!

    Find out the difference between an acute angle and an
        obtuse angle at Angle Fun Facts.

    Review angle information by using Angle Flash cards,
        Angle Matching, Angle Concentration, and Angle Word Search.

    Practice constructing angles at this site - Building Angles.

    Discover the Interior Angles in geometric shapes.

    View angle definitions in the Math Glossary.

The fun begins 

    Read and write down five interesting facts about
        angles at Angle Fun Facts.

    Look up and define these angle terms in the Math Glossary:
        acute, obtuse, right, straight, complimentary, supplimentary,
        degrees, bisect, interior, protractor, and compass.

    Use Angle Flash cards to review angle info.

    Test your angle knowledge by playing Angle Matching and
