As a math teacher, it has always been difficult to find literacy resources for my students. Research has proven over and over that literacy is vital for student success in ALL areas. This readers theater weaves a math lesson about complimentary and supplementary angles all the way through, while also exposing students to a play.

Not only does it cover complimentary and supplementary angles, but it also includes acute, obtuse, and right angles.

This is a GREAT intro to angles tool or simply an engaging activity for any point during your angles unit. I have used this with my own students with great success. They thoroughly enjoyed having the opportunity to act out their parts and really bring the characters to life!

CCSS3.G.A.1

Understand that shapes in different categories (e.g., rhombuses, rectangles, and others) may share attributes (e.g., having four sides), and that the shared attributes can define a larger category (e.g., quadrilaterals). Recognize rhombuses, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories.

CCSS4.G.A.1

Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines. Identify these in two-dimensional figures.

CCSS5.G.B.3

Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category. For example, all rectangles have four right angles and squares are rectangles, so all squares have four right angles.

CCSS6.G.A.1

Find the area of right triangles, other triangles, special quadrilaterals, and polygons by composing into rectangles or decomposing into triangles and other shapes; apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
