Grade 6 - Shape and Space

Standard 6.SS.1 - Practice constructing obtuse, acute and right angles with a protractor.

Included Skills:

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.

• Achievement Indicators:
- 6SS1.1 Provide examples of angles found in the environment.
- 6SS12 Classify a given set of angles according to their measure; e.g., acute, right, obtuse, straight, reflex.
- 6SS1.3 Estimate the measure of an angle, using 45°, 90° and 180° as reference angles.
- 6SS1.4 Sketch 45°, 90° and 180° angles without the use of a protractor, and describe the relationship among them.
- 6SS1.5 Measure, using a protractor, given angles in various positions.
- 6SS1.6 Draw and label a specified angle in various positions, using a protractor
