4th Grade Unit 7 Part 1: Measuring Angles (Form A)

Name _____________________________
Date ______________
Standards:
40.MD.5 recognize angles as geometric shapes that are formed wherever two rays share a common endpoint and understand concepts of angle
measurement
41.MD.5_a. recognize that an angle is measured with reference to a circle with its center at the common endpoint of the rays, by considering the
fraction of the circular arc between the points where the two rays intersect the circle; an angle that turns through 1/360 of a circle is called a "onedegree angle", and can be used to measure angles
42.MD.5_b. recognize that an angle that turns through "n" one-degree angles is said to have an angle measure of "n" degrees
43.MD.6 measure and draw angles using tools such as a protractor or angle ruler
44.MD.7 recognize angle measure as additive. When an angle is decomposed into non-overlapping parts, the angle measure of the whole is the sum of
the angle measures of the parts. Solve addition and subtraction problems to find unknown angles on a diagram in real world and mathematical
problems, e.g., by using an equation with a symbol for the unknown angle measure

1. Use a protractor to construct a 60

angle.

2. Use a protractor to construct an obtuse

triangle with a 120 angle.

4. Sam bought a cookie cake for his

moms birthday. He wants to cut it
evenly so that he and each of his 8 other
family members get the same size piece.
What will be the angle measure
of each slice of cake?

B
A

If the angle in circle A measures

130, what is the measure of the
angle in circle B?

Answer Key:
1. Accept drawing with correct measurement.
2. Credit for obtuse triangle and for correct angle.
3. 130
4. 40
5. Credit for drawing isosceles triangle and answer of 180, because all
triangles have angles that add up to 180.
6. ??
7. c.
8. 360 6 = C; C = 60
9. 100
10. 230; Back to the start point would be 360, a full circle. 130 + 230 = 360
11. T = 24
12. c.
13. 90 - 31 = 59
14. 60
15. a.
16. Right angle 180 (straight angle) minus 90 (right angle) = 90 (right
angle). Give credit for correct angle and explanation.
17. 68
18. Obtuse angle An acute angle would be between 1 and 89. Adding that
to a right angle (90) would create an obtuse angle. Give credit for correct
angle and explanation.
