Grade Level: 4th Subject Area: Math

Lesson Title: Geometry-Measuring Lesson Length: 11 Days
Angles
THE TEACHING PROCESS
Lesson Overview:

This unit bundles student expectations that address skills necessary to solve
problems involving angles less than or equal to 180 degrees, including drawing and
measuring angles with a protractor. According to the Texas Education Agency,
mathematical process standards including application, a problem-solving model,
tools and techniques, communication, representations, relationships, and
justifications should be integrated (when applicable) with content knowledge and
skills so that students are prepared to use mathematics in everyday life, society,
and the workplace.

During this unit, students illustrate the measure of an angle as the part of a circle
whose center is at the vertex of the angle that is "cut out" by the rays of the angle.

They also illustrate degrees as the units used to measure an angle, where of

any circle is one degree and an angle that "cuts" out of any circle whose center
is at the angle's vertex has a measure of n degrees. Using a protractor, students
determine the approximate measures of angles in degrees to the nearest whole
number and also draw angles of a specified measure. Given one or both angle
measures, students determine the measure of an unknown angle formed by two
non-overlapping adjacent angles. The concepts of complementary and
supplementary angles are embedded within the study of adjacent angles. Within
this unit, all angle measures are limited to whole numbers.

Unit Objectives:

Students will:
 illustrate the measure of an angle as the part of a circle whose center is at
the vertex of the angle that is "cut out" by the rays of the angle.

 illustrate degrees as the units used to measure an angle, where of any

circle is one degree and an angle that "cuts" out of any circle whose
center is at the angle's vertex has a measure of n degrees.
 use a protractor to determine the approximate measures of angles in
degrees to the nearest whole number and also draw angles of a specified
measure.
 determine the measure of an unknown angle formed by two non-overlapping
adjacent angles.

Misconceptions:
 Some students may think that the angle size is determined by the length of
the rays rather than by the size of the turn.
 Some students may think that the orientation of the angle on a drawing will
affect the measurement of the angle.
 Some students may not have made the connection between estimating the
size of an angle before measuring and the appropriate scale on the
protractor.
 Some students may think that degree measure for angles is read from only
one side of a protractor (e.g., An angle with a measure of 30° may be at the
markings of 30° and 150° on the protractor).

 Some students may think that when measuring with a protractor, one of the
two rays must always align with zero rather than recognizing that an accurate
measure is dependent upon the difference in the beginning and ending
measure (e.g., An angle with a measure of 30° can be determined by
beginning at 0° and ending at 30° or by finding the difference between other
ending and starting points, such as 180° – 150°, 100° – 70°, etc.).
Vocabulary:
 Acute – an angle that measures less than 90°
 Adjacent angles – angles that share a common vertex and side
 Angle – two rays with a common endpoint (the vertex)
 Angle congruency marks – angle marks indicating angles of the same measure
 Center of the circle – the point equidistant from all points on the circle
 Complementary angles – two angles whose sum of angle measures equals 90
degrees
 Congruent angles – angles whose angle measurements are equal

 Degree – the measure of an angle where each degree represents of a

circle
 Obtuse – an angle that measures greater than 90° but less than 180°
 Protractor – a tool used to determine the measure of an angle
 Ray – part of a line that has one endpoint and continues without end in one
direction
 Right – an angle (formed by perpendicular lines) that measures exactly 90°
 Straight – an angle that measures 180° (a straight line)

Day Eight Activity – Circle Angles

The following activity is modeled in the school tube video below. Watch before hand
to be able to model it with students.
http://www.schooltube.com/video/e70028466e0b485791d7/Paper%20Plate%20Angles

Students will cover two paper plates with tissue paper and create a “moving” circle that
can be used to show different measures of a circle.

Give each student a paper plate. Fold the paper plate in half two times. Cut a very
small circle in the center of the plate while folded. Open it back up and identify the cut
as the vertex.

What do we recall is the vertex of an angle? Endpoint where two rays (arms) come
together.

Using a ruler draw a line straight across the vertex horizontally. Look at the angles
that you have made. What kind of angle did you make? Straight How many degrees
is a straight angle? 180 Point out the straight angles applies to both the bottom and
the top of the circle. If you have two straight angles that are each 180 degrees, how
many degrees make up the total circle? 360

Now draw another line vertically? What kind of angles are the four angles of the

13
Unit 10 Geometry-Measuring Angles Grade 4

circle? Right angles How many degrees is a right angle? 90 If you have four right
angles, each measuring 90 degrees, how many total degrees is a circle? 360

Flatten out and cover two more paper plates with tissue paper. Use the hole in the
first plate to mark the vertex in both of the plates. Using a ruler, draw a line from the
vertex to the end of the plates. Cut the lines on both plates, then fit them together.

Model for students how to rotate/turn the plates to show different angles. Using the
protractor, measure out different degrees of angles.

If you measured out a 90 degree angle in one color, how much of the other color is
left? 360-90=270 Write the angles as n/360, 90/360 or 270/360.

If you measured out a 175 degree angle in one color, how much of the other color is
left? 360-175=185 . How would I write that like I did the last angle? 175/360 or
185/360.

Day Nine Activity – Clock Hand Angles
Materials: Paper plate from yesterday, What’s Your Angle Resource, page 4

Using the paper plates created yesterday, have the students create a 180 degree
angle. If the circle represents a clock, what numbers would be at either end of the
straight angle? 3 and 9, or 12 and 6 depending on if the angle is vertical or horizontal.
Label these numbers, then label the opposite angle, so that 12, 3, 6 and 9 are all
labeled.

Now create a right angle, with one arm at 12 and one at 3. What numbers should be
in between? 1 and 2 How many angles will it make to the angles between 12 and 1, 1
and 2 and 2 and 3? Three angles If the entire space is 90 degrees and I need to
divide it into 3 angles, how many degrees should each angle be? 90/3 = 30

Using the protractors, draw a 30 degree angle from 12:00. Label it 1:00 and 30
degrees. Then draw a 30 degree angle and label it 2:00. How many degrees are at
2:00? 30 + 30=60 degrees.

Unit 10 Geometry-Measuring Angles Grade 4

Continue on labeling the times on the clock and the corresponding degrees as you
turn your angle until you reach 11:00 – 330 degrees. 12:00 will be labeled both 0
degrees and 360 degrees.

Go through the below lesson, reinforcing the measurements of a circle.

Pass out a copy of page 4 in the What’s Your Angle Document. Model labeling the
first clock 2:00. Then show how you use your paper plate clock to determine what the
angle of the 2:00 time is, and what the remaining angle represents, by subtracting
from 360. If the 2:00 angle represents 60 degrees, then the adjacent angle
represents what? 360-60 = 300 degrees.

Describe how to find the measurement of any angle in a circle using the angle given
as the hands of a clock. Answers will vary, but should include subtracting from 360,
