Find that angle in your classroom! Have kids create their very own angle finders using popsicle sticks. Each child will need 6 sticks to craft three angles: right, acute, and obtuse. Next, go around the classroom hunting for angles. Look at analog clock hands, space in between your fingers, tables, corner of a book, tiles on the floor, edge of a room, even check out the letters of the alphabet! Can you find that angle? Also, try making an angle with your arms or lie down and create an angle with a friend! Then, have another buddy come up and check your angle with their angle finder.
