Unit 2: Geometry
Target 124.MD.C.5Ch 11: Target 1

I can explain how an angle represents a turn and how angles are measured in degrees.

Standard cap: 4 - Apply angle-turn reasoning to a new situation.

Subskills what students must be able to do

  • 1I can explain how two rays form an angle.
  • 2I can connect angle size to a turn around a circle.
  • 3I can explain that degrees measure the size of the turn.

Proficiency Scale & ⚓️ Tasks

1 → 4 proficiency scale
1Beginning

“Show the vertex and two rays that make this angle.”

2Developing

“Which represents a larger turn: 1/4 turn or 1/2 turn?”

3Proficient

“Explain why a full turn is 360° and how degrees describe angle size.”

4Advanced

“A robot must make a total turn of 225° using only 90° and 45° turns. Find two different sequences of turns that work and explain why both represent the same total turn.”
