Equipment Needed : Stiff card (a roll of corrugated cardboard is usually purchased), rulers, protractors. |
Victorian Curriculum outcome : Compare angles and classify them as equal to, greater than or less than a right angle |
Task description : Create a four sided hole, where one angle is a right angle, one is an acute angle and one is an obtuse angle. Label them as such. |
Assessment options : Photographs of Golf Course Holes |
Teacher notes : Students tend to make the holes too small to measure accurately: a hole should be around half the size of an A4 sheet of paper. Encourage students to use colour or even little props to make their holes a bit more interesting and creative. |
