We are moving along in finishing up geometry. Yesterday we covered estimating an angle's measurement based on baseline angles. In other words, once students know what a 45°, a 90°, and a 135° angle roughly looks like, they can use it as a guide.
Students also learned about estimating the measure of an angle using a clock. Since all circles measure 360° and clocks are divided into twelfths, each number on the clock represents 30°. I did show a brief video to reinforce what was taught. ![]()

My second block was introduced to using protractors to both measure an angle as well as create one. The activity that the students participated in involved using ten-sided dice to randomly generate a number for the degrees of an angle that they were to draw.
