Protractor scavenger hunt
Send partners around the room with a protractor to find and measure five angles: a book corner, an open door, scissors. They sketch each angle and record its degrees. Real angles teach kids to line up the protractor far better than angles on a page.
Why it works: going from real objects to pictures to symbols is a core recommendation of the U.S. Department of Education's elementary math guide.
