Students estimate angle measures using benchmark angles (30°, 45°, 60°, 90°, and 180°), measure angles in whole degrees with a protractor, and draw angles of a given size.
They also learn that angle measure is additive: when an angle is split into parts that don't overlap, the parts add up to the whole angle.
Official benchmarkEstimate angle measures. Using a protractor, measure angles in whole-number degrees and draw angles of specified measure in whole-number degrees. Demonstrate that angle measure is additive.
On the FAST test: part of the Grade 4 reporting category Geometric Reasoning, Measurement, and Data Analysis and Probability, which is about 31–37% of the test.
Worked Example 1
Worked Example 2
Make sure you read the scale that starts at 0 on your first ray. An acute angle is less than 90°, so it is 65°, not 115°.
Put the center point of the protractor exactly on the vertex, and line one ray up with 0°.
Estimate before measuring: "Is it more or less than a right angle?" If the protractor says 115° but the angle is clearly acute, switch scales.
