Grade 6 - Shape and Space
Standard 6.SS.1 - Practice constructing a specific angle with a protractor.
Included Skills: Geometry
Demonstrate an understanding of angles by: • identifying examples of angles in the environment • classifying angles according to their measure • estimating the measure of angles using 45°, 90° and 180° as reference angles • determining angle measures in degrees • drawing and labelling angles when the measure is specified. • Achievement Indicators - Provide examples of angles found in the environment. - Classify a given set of angles according to their measure, e.g., acute, right, obtuse, straight, reflex. - Sketch 45°, 90° and 180° angles without the use of a protractor, and describe the relationship among them. - Estimate the measure of an angle using 45°, 90° and 180° as reference angles. - Measure, using a protractor, given angles in various orientations. - Draw and label a specified angle in various orientations using a protractor. - Describe the measure of an angle as the measure of rotation of one of its sides. - Describe the measure of angles as the measure of an interior angle of a polygon.
