Understand Angle
Hint for students
Angle size depends on the amount of turn, not on how long the drawn rays are.
Common mix-up
Longer rays do not make a larger angle. The opening or turn determines angle measure, and the meeting point is the vertex.
Try it in class or at home
Find and sketch five angles in the classroom. Classify each, estimate its measure, then check with a protractor.
Teacher prompt
Use two hinged strips to form acute, right, obtuse, straight, and reflex angles. Ask students to compare turns before measuring in degrees.
