The first lesson for the learning of the concept of angle using the mouse shaped made in the lesson as an aide.

The mouse,circle and angle as a measure of rotation.

This lesson is the first of three lessons teaching the concept of angle. Through the folding process the pupils have a dynamic experience of this concept. The idea of measure of rotation as a method of understanding the concept of angle is applied with moving the mouse shape clockwise. This method and definition of an angle as a measure of rotation is understood while creating the angle by the rotational movement. Two mice are folded-one to take home and the other for the next lesson on the subject of angle.

The pupils will construct a circle using the measuring tool  and marking dots at equal distances.

Circle.

Mouse and circle.

This is the second lesson in learning the concept of angle as a measure of a rotation. The following lesson will make use of the mouse and circle of the the two previous lessons to fully understand the dynamic approach of folding in order to see the formation of an angle as a process of rotation. It is suggested that the pupils make several circles.

Pupils will recognize that the size of an angle is determined by the measure of rotation in relation to a given segment line.

This lesson is the 3rd activity  demonstrating the concept of angle as measure of rotation.

The pupils  will use the measuring tool for comparison of lengths and identification of right angles.

Pupils will identify right angles intuitively using the measuring tool.

Pupils will identify right angles in various orientations.

The measuring tool should be folded  and kept in the pupils workbook at the conclusion of each lesson.

Intuitive  identification  of right angles.

Triangles

The folding procedures enable the children to recognize properties of a triangle.

The pupils will be able to identify and investigate triangles according to sides and vertices.

In this lesson, the pupils will investigate the triangular shapes as formed in the folding process. The classification is made according to the number of sides. At the conclusion of the folding process, the final model comes as a surprise.  The pupils learn new concepts and review previously learnt concepts.

• Classifying triangles according to the angles of the triangles.
• Identifying right angled triangles, acute triangles and obtuse triangles.
• Classifying triangles according to the sides of the triangles.
• Drawing and naming triangles according to both properties of sides and angles.
