* to identify right angles and to describe angles as greater than, equal to, or less than a right angle
We are learning to recognize and describe angles bigger than, smaller than and equal to a right angle, otherwise known as a carpenter angles so that we can identify benchmark angles
Step 1: Download Blockly App if you have not already done so from the App Store
Step 2: Turn on Dash and connect to Bluetooth
Step 3: Place Dash (by an angle) on marked out shape that has been made with tape
Step 4: In the "Drive" tab, choose between turn right or turn left
Step 5: Once selected, choose how many degrees you would like Dash to turn
Step 6: Hit Play
1. What challenges did you encounter when having Dash turn and follow the outline on the carpet?
2. What can you tell me about a right angle?
3. Where else do you see right angles in everyday life?
4. Why do you think that right angles are used so often in everyday life?
5. How do you know if an angle is bigger or smaller than a right angle? Explain
