The Angle Spin - 8th Grade Math Game [CCSS 8.G.A.5]
Description
Introducing The Angle Spin, an interactive and engaging math game for 8th graders! This exciting game is designed to help students learn and practice finding measures of complementary, supplementary, and congruent angles. The game includes a game board and spinner, paperclip, pencil, and counters for 2 to 3 players.
The objective of the game is to be the first player to move their counter from the blue square to the yellow square. Each round, the teacher (or any of the players) spins the spinner. The players must then look at the value of their current position (A) and find a square connected to it with a value that corresponds to the spin result (B). If the player finds the correct square, they move their counter to it. If not, their counter remains on the current square until the next spin.
For example, if player 1's counter is on a square with a value of 200 (A) and the teacher spins "Complementary," player 1 must look for a square connected to their current position with a value of 700 (B). If they find it, they move their counter to that square.
The game continues until one player reaches the yellow square, making them the winner! The Angle Spin is a fun and interactive way for 8th graders to learn and practice important math concepts while enjoying a friendly competition with their classmates.
