Freeman – Lesson Plan 1

Geometry Figure
Roundup!
Instructor: Lauren Freeman
Grade Level: 6-7
Content Area: Math, Math Intervention
Standards
Addressed:  MG2.1 Identify angles as vertical, adjacent, complimentary,
supplementary and provide descriptions of each term.
 MG 2.3 Draw quadrilaterals and triangles from given
information.

Learning Targets:
 Students will be able to identify and create angles.
 Students will be able to identify and create shapes.

Learning Context:
What is the context Students are learning the finer details about shapes, angles and

are goals?
Student Task Description:
What real or simulated problem will the students address? What useful products, events or
services will the students produce? What audience might benefit from the student’s work?

Everyday as you walk around Southridge Middle School, you see shapes, figures and
angles in real life. In your classes you have been learning about the different ways you can
classify shapes, figures and angles.

If given a list of shapes, figures and angles, could you find a real-life representation of
them?
