ANGLES: An angle is a measure of a turn, measured in degrees or °. There are 360°
in a full turn. You can find out the size of an angle using a protractor.
This section includes:
 What are angles?
 Types of angles
 Adding up angles
 Using a protractor
 Perpendicular and parallel lines

PLACE VALUE HEADINGS: We use place value headings like 10, 100, 1000. These
help us do sums and see which numbers are bigger than others.

SHAPE SORTER: A rhombus has four congruent sides. A rectangle has four
congruent angles. But a square has four congruent sides and four congruent angles.
Using a Venn diagram, the relationship would look like this:
What other relationships can be described using Venn diagrams? Use this tool to
explore many different geometric properties and shapes.

SYMMETRY: A 2D shape is symmetrical if a line can be drawn through it so that
either side of the line looks exactly the same. The line is called a line of symmetry.

CAN THEY BE EQUAL? Sometimes area and perimeter of rectangles are taught
separately, and are often confused. In this problem students consider the relationship
between them and are being challenged to engage in some sophisticated
mathematical thinking.

LOST: Input coordinates to help you search and find the giraffe with the fewest
guesses. The interactivity gives you the shortest distance you'd have to travel (along
the roads) to reach the giraffe. Can you find a reliable strategy for choosing
coordinates that will locate the giraffe in the minimum number of guesses?

PLACE VALUE GAME
http://education.jlab.org/placevalue/index.html
1. The goal of the Place Value Game is to create the largest possible number
from the digits the computer gives you. Unfortunately, the computer will give
you each digit one at a time and you won't know what the next number will be.
2. You are not allowed to rearrange any of the digits you have already placed, so
think carefully before you lock a number in place!
3. Students can select: number of digits, the largest digit used, and if they want to
discard any cards.
4. After a round is played, the computer displays what the largest possible value
was.

KenKen: puzzle game that helps students improve their calculation skills, logical
thinking and persistence
http://www.kenken.com/
The goal is to fill a grid with numbers so that no number appears more than once in
any row or column. In addition, the numbers must combine to form a target number
using a specific operation. This page is updated with four new KenKen puzzles daily
and is provided in partnership with Nextoy, LLC.

http://illuminations.nctm.org/ActivityDetail.aspx?ID=173
The rules of Krypto are simple: Combine five number cards using the four arithmetic
operations (+, –, ×, ÷) to arrive at a "target" number. This online version of Primary
Krypto uses the numbers 1–10 only.
1. Drag-and-drop the number cards onto the game board. They will snap into
place on the outlined squares.
2. From the small squares, choose which operation is to be performed.
The three buttons are used to control the game.
