Answer: How does the red section that appears on the protractor help you understand the measure? Answer: How does the AngleViewer Visual Protractor help you relate fractions to angle measures? Draw angles with straightedges and then measure and record the measurements using AngleViewer Visual Protractors. Draw different types of angles, including acute, obtuse, right, straight, and reflex. Answer: Why do you need to mark your angle with a small arc?

Draw, label, and record measures for angles of specified measures: 45, 100, 135, 38, 200 As you work, ask them to classify the angles they draw and provide reasoning for your classification. Discuss: What are the challenges of drawing angles of specified measure? Share setbacks and strategies for improvement. Answer: What are the challenges of learning the new tasks of drawing and measuring angles?

PROBLEMS INVOLVING ANGLE MEASUREMENT

Watch: BBC Bitesize Maths: Angles Answer:

What do the dashed lines in the grassy circle area represent? How much would you turn the water sprinkler to squirt the dog with water? Will you need an angle larger or smaller than 90 to squirt the see-saw? How much would you turn the water sprinkler to squirt the see-saw?

PROBLEMS INVOLVING ANGLE MEASUREMENT

Answer:

How can the angle measures used to squirt the dog and the see-saw help you determine the angle measure needed to squirt the slide? What angle measure would you use to squirt the clown?

Note: An angle can be composed by two or more non-overlapping angles, and the measure is equal to the sum of the measures of the angles.

PROBLEMS INVOLVING ANGLE MEASUREMENT

View: Visual Learning Measuring with Unit Angles Throughout the presentation, explore the angle measures of the parallelogram (tan) and trapezoid (red) using your pattern blocks. Answer:

How do you know the smallest angle of the tan parallelogram represents 30? How could you use the tan parallelogram to help you determine the angle measurements of all other pattern blocks? What are the measures of the angles in the green triangle and how do you know?

Determine which angles can be used to compose larger angles based on the given criteria. Although there is not a point marked, the vertex of each angle is located at the intersection of the two rays. Answer:

Is there another solution? What do you know about any two angles that compose an acute angle? What do you know about any two angles that compose a straight angle? What strategies did you use to determine which angles composed a 315 angle? How did the protractor help you to determine the composed angles?
