“Angry Bird Angles” was a Math project given to the students of grade 5.

“Angry Birds” is a popular video game which is based on dynamic use of

angles. While playing this game one has to use a slingshot to shoot birds

through the air to destroy green pigs. Based on the game students had to

design their background, figure out the placement of their pigs, decide

what type of birds they would use and then figure out the path each bird

would have to travel in order to defeat the level. They were asked to

measure the angles of the path followed by the birds to hit the pigs.

The objective of this project was to explore angles in fun way. This project

connected the concept of angles to the children’s realities. Children were

amazed to see that Math can be used in such innovative ways as well.

Students enjoyed working on this project and have done it very creatively.
