Week 23TuesdayRight Angles: Square Corners
1Warm-up: True or False

2-min Warm-up — True or False? Circle one.

A line segment has 2 endpoints. T / F

A ray goes on forever in both directions. T / F

A point shows an exact spot. T / F

A line has 2 endpoints. T / F

2Learn: The Right Angle

A right angle makes a perfect square corner — like the corner of a book or a door. We mark right angles with a small square. □

3Estimate First! Right Angle or Not?

Estimate First! Look with just your eyes: is each angle a right angle? Write your estimate, THEN check with the corner of an index card.

5Two Ways to Check an Angle

Two Ways to Check — Show two different ways to test if the corner of your desk is a right angle.

Ideas: corner of paper, corner of a book, fold a circle twice...
