Hello 4th Graders!

Welcome to another computer lab assignment! :-)

Here's your to-do list:

1. Watch BrainPop's Angles video. Then take the REVIEW quiz.
2. Follow along with the Study Jam crew as they discuss Measuring Angles. Click on the Step by Step-- you'll need to complete this FIRST. Then you'll need to click on Test Yourself. Finally, you can sing a bit of karaoke if you like :-)
3. One more Study Jam-- Classifying Angles. First Step by Step, then Test Yourself.
4. BBC- Bitesiz- Water Squirting Game 
5. Now that you've worked on angles, it's time to do some work with symmetry. Follow along with the Links Learning lesson on Symmetry and complete the activities at the end.
6. Check back in the with Study Jam Crew for more Symmetry practice. Step by step, then Test Yourself.
7. Optional: For a symmetry CHALLENGE try this one: Geometry Quilts.

When you are done, you need to do at least 15 min. of Type to Learn.

Then you may explore the following areas of portaportal:

• Virginia Studies> Civil War
• Wordplay/Vocabulary
• Reading> Online Books

SONG!: "Angles Song" by Rockin' the Standards

Angles Song
(Bingo Song)
There was an angle had a name
And Righty was his name-o
Square corner just like so
Square corner just like so
Square corner just like so
And Righty was his name-o
There was an angle had a name
And Acute was her name-o
Closed and cute just like so
Closed and cute just like so
Closed and cute just like so
And Acute was her name-o
There was an angle had a name
And Obtuse was his name-o
Open wide just like so
Open wide just like so
Open wide just like so
And Obtuse was his name-o

SONG!: The Angle Dance from Square One TV

I know all the angles
And dancing’s the latest fad
Make two lines meet
And a throbbing beat
The results will drive you mad

If you learn all the angles,
You can dance to my angle song
To start put your knees 45 degrees
Everybody crawl along

Angle dance!
Angle dance!
Find the point where two lines merge
Angle dance!
Angle dance!
Come let’s make our paths converge

Once you know all the angles,
A two person square’s a breeze
It’s quite cut and dry
Stretch one arm to the side
Raise the other 90 degrees

Next hang a friend from the ceiling
If he loves you I know he won’t care
Clasp his hands real tight
Get those angles right
Yeah, you’ve done it, you’ve made a square

Angle dance!
Angle dance!
Help me measure these angles please
Angle dance!
Angle dance!
We’re all doin’ it by degrees

Angle dance!
Angle dance!
Make a circular turn on your toe
Angle dance!
Angle dance!
In degrees spin three-six-zero

If you try, you can make any angle
If you don’t, there’s no excuse
This little beaut is called acute
And this wide one is obtuse

Now I’ve taught you the angles
You’re angle dancing hip
And if you’re inclined
You can go out and find
A spatial relationship

Angle dance!
Angle dance!
Come and join me hon
Angle dance!
Angle dance!
Have some geometric fun!
Angle dance!
Angle dance!
Let’s hope our math’s correct
Angle dance!
Angle dance!
Gee it’s great when lines connect
Angle dance!
Angle dance!
