- Students are encouraged to take pictures or
• Students can listen to recorded audio (with TRX • Relating classroom information to real life. video recording of their real life angles
pictures) as many times as necessary. (homework assignment).
• Hands-on activities: measuring angles
• Students ask clarifying questions as necessary. around the classroom. - Students estimate actual measures of angles
instead of just greater than/less than referent
angles.
