Finding Missing Angles with Algebra - Build a Thanksgiving/Christmas Parade

Created by

The Math Blender

This is such a fun activity before Thanksgiving Break! My students love building their parades in groups of 6, but you could have students work individually, in pairs or threes! Students use their knowledge of angles and triangles to set up and solve equations to find missing angles. Their correct answers will prompt them to draw a float for the Thanksgiving Day Parade!
