    Knowledge

    Students know:
    • Measurable attributes of geometric shapes, specifically angle size.
    • Units of measurement, specifically one-degree angle (degrees).
    • An angle is measured by the number or iterations of one-degree angles that exactly cover the rotation of the angle.

    Skills

    Students are able to:
    • Sketch angles given a specified measure.
    • Use appropriate tools to find angle measure.

    Understanding

    Students understand that:
    • the rotation of an angle is measured by the number of one-degree angles that exactly cover the rotation of the angle.
