EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

An activity where students use a protractor to measure angles to the nearest degree, helping to develop their understanding of angle measurement. Designed for students in year 5 and year 6.

Learning Objectives:

Accurately use a protractor to measure angles.
Estimate angles and then verify by measuring with a protractor.
Develop spatial reasoning and precision in geometric tasks.

How the Activity Works:

Students are provided with several angles to measure. Using a protractor, they measure each angle to the nearest degree. The activity helps students become more familiar with the protractor and strengthens their ability to identify and measure angles accurately. They are encouraged to align the protractor correctly with the angle and read the scale carefully to record the measurement. This exercise supports the development of skills in geometry and measurement.
