Pipe cleaner angles

Pipe cleaners are very cheap and very fun.

I recently taught a lesson about angles and used pipe cleaners to teach angles. 

I displayed a poster of angles, explained the terminology of angles: the amount of turn between two lines that share an end point of vertex, then demonstrated measuring that amount of turn with a protractor.

We then went through the types of angles, measured and labelled them. 

We then made the angles with pipe cleaners and brainstormed where they are in the environment.
