Supplementary Angles: The Dynamic Duo!

Imagine two angles that are like best friends who always add up to 180 degrees. We call these "Supplementary Angles"!

What Are Supplementary Angles?

  • Two angles that, when put together, make a straight line

  • They always add up to exactly 180 degrees

  • Like two magical puzzle pieces that create a perfect straight path

Fun Way to Understand

Think of supplementary angles like:

  • Two superhero friends who team up to make a complete line

  • Two pizza slices that together make a full pizza

  • Special angle friends who complete each other's line

Examples

  • 90° and 90° are supplementary angles (90 + 90 = 180)

  • 45° and 135° are supplementary angles (45 + 135 = 180)

  • 60° and 120° are supplementary angles (60 + 120 = 180)

Playful Activities

  1. Draw two angles that add up to 180 degrees

  2. Use your arms to create supplementary angles

  3. Find supplementary angles around your classroom

    • Straight lines

    • Book edges

    • Classroom walls meeting

  4. Visualization
