Put the numbers at the vertex of each angle, outside the triangle. Using your protractor, measure all angles of each triangle. Record the measurements of each angle inside the triangle. Complete the following chart: Triangle, Angle 1, Angle 2, Angle 3, Sum of the three angles Record any patterns that you find regarding the angles of a triangle. This lesson can be varied to determine the properties of isoceles, and equilateral triangles as well. This lesson creates ownership for the student, ensuring that they will never Forget these properties. bryanbaird@hotmail.com THE MATHEMATICS BEHIND MAZES GRADES: 7-11 The Mathematics Behind Mazes examines Euler's Formula (Points + Regions = Lines + Parts), and provides the students with a chance to design and construct a model of a maze, to practice equations and to obtain a better understanding of coordinate planes.

Traditional Tefle is during a full moon because our village has no electricity. . a favorite recurringcharacter, Kwaku Ananse, whose escapades and activities teach moral lessons http://www.tejasstorytelling.com/tefle.html
Extractions: Reprinted from the June 1988 Texas Teller The ancient, skilled art of storytelling is a favorite pastime with many Ghanaian families. It's a system by which their long history is passed down orally. But today technology is moving like a fast eraser across their cultural blackboard. TEFLE, GHANA: The village of Tefle is about 100 kilometers, or 60 miles, from Ghana's capital, Accra. As in hundreds of other villages, here can be found the old Africa. Unpaved streets and mud-and-clay huts bake silently in the Saharan sun. Easy going inhabitants engage in daily activities that have remained unchanged for generations. Strong-boned women dressed in gaily patterned cloth sell vegetables at roadside kiosks: red piles of tomatoes and chili peppers, yams, garden eggs and groundnuts (peanuts) wrapped in newsprint. Old women and young girls pound fufu (cassava and plantain) in courtyards and stir chili-flavored stews. Chickens roam at will and babies crawl o the hard-baked earth. men work, idle or hunt small game. Traditional ways of life are preserved in places such as Tefle, but someday this typical village scene may be extinct.

Extractions: Because we've had such a dry winter, many people are already getting started with spring planting and getting their homes and yards in shape for summer. That preparation may include projects like planting flowers and shrubs, trimming trees, painting your house, fixing the roof, and a multitude of other chores. But if any of those planned outdoor projects call for digging, though, we'd like to offer a few words of caution. Please remember that electric utility cables may be buried beneath your property. Also keep in mind that previous owners of your property may have buried electrical lines to supply electricity for shops, hot tubs, outdoor lighting or other outbuildings. Underground electrical cables are live and dangerous, so it's obviously a good idea to know if there are cables in the area where you plan to dig.

Extractions: Question: Where can I find good experiments or activities on electricity that require easy, cheap and accessible materials? Are there any state resources in Texas that I can use to help teach elementary students about electricity? Answer: Our city has a local university that helps teachers. A physics professor provides electrical parts to teachers on loan. You may have a university nearby that would be willing to help with supplies. The following site has some simple electrical experiments as well as some interactive activities that help the visual learner visualize the concept of atoms. http://www.proteacher.com/110016.shtml The following site allows students to experience electrical experiments inexpensively.

Lesson Exchange: Energy Conservation (Middle, Mathematics) to read the electric meter, and teach the students how Figure out how much electricity(and, therefore, money the saved funds be used for schoolwide activities. http://www.teachers.net/lessons/posts/1365.html
Extractions: This project will take approximately four weeks. In preparation for the project, you need to: 1.Locate the school electric meter. It is probably in the basement or furnace room, and it is probably locked up. The custodian will be able to locate it and will have the key to unlock the cage where it is located. 2.Learn to read the electric meter, and teach the students how to read the meter. You might want to use the meter reading worksheet. Week One of the Project After introducing students to the project using the above activity: 1.Break students into groups to take turns reading the electric meter six times a day at regularly scheduled intervals. Obviously, this exercise will be difficult during after school hours, but try to read the meter as close to the end of the day as possible and then again first thing in the morning. A possible plan might be a first reading at 8am and then measurements at the intervals of 8-10am, 10-noon, noon-2pm, 2pm-4pm, 4pm-8am. Assigning students meter readings once during classtime and then again at recess, lunch, and before and after school may help limit the amount of class time spent taking meter readings.
