Then create dances with angle pairs (i.e., complementary and supplementary angles). Use what you learn to create a final dance with different angle types. What mood or effect do you achieve from each dance? To Do Part 1: Angle Type Exploration (20-40 minutes) Have students try three types of angle dance moves: Right Angles: Create a simple dance in which all the parts only rotate at +90 or -90 degree angles. Save the dance to share with the class later. What are some things you notice about your dancer as its parts only rotate 90 degrees? Did anything surprise you? Acute and Obtuse Angles: Make a simple dancer whose parts only rotate with acute angle measurements. Then create a simple dance where all the parts rotate with obtuse angle measurements. Save each of these as projects. When you animate the two dances, what are some things you notice? Angle Pairs: Explore angle pairs (i.e., complementary and supplementary angles). Create a simple dance where Expected Activity Time pairs of parts have these relationships. Part 1: Angle Type Exploration (20-40 minutes) For example, one part will move 50 Part 2: Dance with Angle Combos to Create a degrees and the part right next to it will Mood (20 minutes) move 130 degrees. Ask: When you animate these parts, what kind of effect Materials and Prep do you get? Pleasing? Unrealistic? Angle Dance Moves with a Mood Student Vertical Angles: Repeat using two Sheets different parts to create a simple dance iPad with Choreo Graph app with vertical angles that rotate with Wifi access for sharing to hub equal measure but opposite each other. Introducing the Activity Part 2: Dance with Angle Combos to Create a Create simple dances in which the dancer’s Mood (20 minutes). Based on explorations parts rotate at: 1) 90 degrees; 2) acute angle from the part 1, have students: measurements; 3) obtuse angle measurements.
