Standards and Objectives
Standards:
 7.G.B.5 – Use facts about supplementary, complementary, vertical, and adjacent angles in a
multi-step problem to write and solve simple equations for an unknown angle in a figure.
Learning Objectives: Use concrete, specific and measurable (observable) learning objectives
for the lesson. What will the student be able to do?
Students will be able to describe and calculate complementary and supplementary angles.
Central Focus:
Students will be able to use angle relationships to find measures of angles.

Academic Language Demands:

 In order for the students to be intellectually engaged in this lesson they must understand math
terms, such as: angle, line, line segment, ray, point, bisect
 The specific terms students need to support learning of the objective(s) for this lesson are: right
angle, acute angle, obtuse angle, straight angle
 Students will need to be able to use all forms of language, such as: reading, writing, listening,
and speaking, in order to participate in learning tasks and demonstrate their learning for this
lesson.
