Activity Instructions

Have a student jump down the mat and stop on either the supplementary space or the complementary space. When they stop, they shout out which one they chose. The rest of the students either lie flat on the floor (if supplementary) or sit up straight at a 90-degree angle (if complementary). This helps reinforce the difference between supplementary and complementary angles.
