Geometry Finding Angles (Polygon Networks) - Winter/Holiday Theme

This is a set of 3 polygon networks which have a holiday/winter theme and require a variety of knowledge with regard to finding angles in Geometry! Lots of fun to figure out, this activity usually takes students approximately two 50-55 minute class periods to complete.

CONTENT IN THIS ACTIVITY:

- Angles on Parallel Lines (alternate interior/exterior, corresponding, same-side)

- Vertical Angles

- Linear Pairs

- Triangle Sum Theorem (angles in a triangle sum to 180 degrees)

- Polygon Sum Theorem (angles in a polygon sum to S = (n-2)*180 degrees)

INCLUDED:

- 3 network scenes

+ Gingerbread House (12 missing angles)

+ Ski Slope (12 missing angles)

+ NYC Rockefeller Center (14 missing angles)

- Answer Key

- Scoring Rubric

We know how important it is for students to be able to write their measures on the diagram so the file is colored so that the images and angle measures will show nicely if copied in black and white. I additionally like posting to google classroom so students can see the pictures in vivid color if they choose as they solve for the angles. In the past I have had tablets with a screen write feature, so if that is an option for you, it is also a nice way to work with these beautiful images. Students will enjoy putting a combination of their knowledge to the test as they figure out these big "puzzles"!
