Level Ups are a fun way for your students to practice or review 8th grade angle relationships in triangles and parallel lines cut by a transversal. Aligned to the common core standards, this Level Ups activity includes 5 differentiated tasks that increase in rigor, covering:
The task cards begin with pre-requisite skills of measuring & naming angles, and working with complementary, supplementary, and vertically opposite angles, then "level up" all the way to finding multiple unknown angles in a large diagram involving parallel lines.
Students start at level zero and work their way up to level 4, giving them accurate feedback on what they have mastered, and what they still need to work on. This lesson works as a great way to review angle relationships, or as preparation for an upcoming assessment.
This activity includes:
My students love "Level Up Day" in my own classroom, and the activity works great as independent practice, a pairs activity, or even group work. I also use this when I need a majority of students working independently while I pull a small group for intervention.
