Grade 6 - Shape and Space
Standard 6.SS.1 - Practice calculating and constructing angles 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 • Provide examples of angles found in the environment. • Classify a 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, angles in various orientations. • Draw and label an 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.
