Grade 6 - Measurement and Data

Standard 6.MD.1.1 - Practice calculating and constructing angles with a protractor.

Included Skills:

Students will be expected to 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

• Performance Indicators
- M01.01 Identify examples of angles found in the environment.
- M01.02 Classify a given set of angles according to their measure (e.g., acute, right, obtuse, straight, reflex).
- M01.03 Sketch 45°, 90°, and 180° angles without the use of a protractor, and describe the relationship among them.
- M01.04 Estimate the measure of an angle using 45°, 90°, and 180° as reference angles.
- M01.05 Measure, using a protractor, given angles in various orientations.
- M01.06 Draw and label a specified angle in various orientations using a protractor.
- M01.07 Describe the measure of an angle as the measure of rotation of one of its sides.
- M01.08 Describe the measure of angles as the measure of an interior angle of a polygon.
