Being Complementary

Being Complementary is a Grade 4 geometry game about measuring and classifying angle pairs. Players divide an angle, measure the resulting parts, and use the game conditions to reason about complementary and supplementary relationships. The drawing-and-measuring format makes the angle relationships something students create and inspect rather than only identify from a finished diagram.

Use it for partner work when students are practicing angle measurement and need to connect individual measures to a larger total. Ask students how they know two angles are complementary or supplementary and what missing measure would complete the relationship.
