Geometry: Angle relationships

Angle relationships are easy visuals to teach students. Change the c into a 9 for 90 degree complementary angles. The s into a 180 for supplementary. You can see the others below. 
Again, color is super important in geometry for your visual learners. I also believe the act of coloring them helps the hands on learners. 
Finally, I have caught up on my tech/ geometry notebook. This week we will be covering congruent triangles. I look forward to sharing my hook for this lesson later on this week.

Geometry Notes: Segment Addition

We have had a nasty virus spreading through the school and therefore I caught it along with my three children.  So, I have had plenty of material to post, just no time to post the information.  The positive, tons of interactive notebook goodies.  Tons of pictures and some good tips that I have learned along the way when teaching geometry. 
Segment addition and angle addition work well together in a foldable. I think it helps kids see the same applied math to different shapes. 

I was quite surprised my first year teaching how many students need a review of the yellow box. 
Breaking down problems in geometry as two parts and a whole really helps them set up equations.
