Application Problem (5 minutes)

Materials: (S) 2 circles of different sizes (different colors, if possible)
Fold Circle A and Circle B as you would to make a right angle template.
Trace the folded perpendicular lines. How many right angles do you
see at the center of each circle? Did the size of the circle matter?
Note: This Application Problem connects to Lesson 5, in which students
found four right angles within a circle. As an introduction to arc length
measure having no effect on angle measurement, students find the
number of right angles around the center point of different size circles.
Concept Development (37 minutes)

Materials: (T) 2 circle cutouts from Application Problem, 2 pieces of wire the same length as the
circumference of each circle cutout, Practice Sheet, dark marker, straightedge, an assortment of
protractors including at least one circular protractor and one 180° protractor (S) 2 circle cutouts
from Application Problem, Practice Sheet, dark marker, straightedge, an assortment of
protractors including at least one circular protractor and one 180° protractor
Note: Providing a variety of protractors allows students to

distinguish angle measure from length measure. Students may NOTES ON

the Gateway Arch in St. Louis.
T: Use a marker to draw an arc on Circle A and Circle B
(as pictured to the right).
T: Trace your finger along each arc. Which circle has a longer
arc?
S Circle A!
T: But don’t both arcs measure 90°? Why are the arcs
different lengths?
S: I don’t know.  Circle A is bigger, so maybe it needs a
bigger arc.
T: How many total degrees in this circle? (Point to Circle A.)
S: 360°.

measurement 91
T: How many total degrees in this circle? (Point to Circle B.)

S: 360°.
T: So, if I divide Circle A into 360°, each arc length will be a little longer than the arc lengths in Circle B.
I’m still measuring a quarter turn in each circle, and each arc is one-fourth of the total distance
around the circle.
T: Think of it as taking the length of an arc from each circle and stretching them out into a line. (Model
two wires that wrap the circumference of each circle stretched out in a line.) I can chop each wire
into 360 equal-size pieces. Which arc will have smaller pieces?
S: The arc from Circle B.
T: Right! 90° is one quarter of 360°. (Cut each wire into four equal parts. Show that one part from
each wire is the same length as the arc of each circle.) Which arc is longer?
S: Circle A has a longer arc.
T: So, does the length of an arc determine the measure of a given
angle? Discuss this with your partner.
S: No! The arcs might be longer or shorter, but they could be
measuring the same size angle.  No matter where the arc is,
I just have to remember that that arc is part of 360°.  Right,
because I could have a super tiny circle or a really big circle, but
still, the right angles measure 90°.
T: Place Circle B on top of Circle A to show that the length of an arc
does not determine the degree measure.
Problem 2: Use a 180° protractor to verify angle measure.

T: (Project ∠𝐶𝐶 and ∠𝐷𝐷 from the Practice Sheet.) What type of angle do you see?
S: Acute!
T: Discuss what you notice about the arc length in each angle.
S The arc length in ∠𝐶𝐶 is longer than the one in ∠𝐷𝐷.  The arcs are different lengths, but the angles
look like they might be the same.  It looks like ∠𝐶𝐶 came from a larger circle than ∠𝐷𝐷 did.
T: Let’s measure to find out if the angles turn the same number of degrees.
T: (Distribute and display a 180° protractor.) What do you notice about this protractor?
S: It’s half a protractor.  It’s only a piece of a circular protractor.  It’s got a straight edge.
T: Just like you measured angles with a circular
protractor, you can measure angles with this
180° protractor. Protractors sometimes have
two sets of numbers. We determine which
number to read based off of the side of the
angle that touches zero. (Show a 40° angle as
pictured to the right, aligning both sides to
zero and discussing which set of numbers to
read.)
T: (Model. Place the middle notch on the vertex of the angle. Align a side with the zero or base line on
the protractor. Read the number the second side length touches.)

measurement 92
T: With your partner, measure ∠𝐶𝐶.

S: 60°. No. Wait, 120°.  It can’t measure 120°. It’s an acute angle. 60°.  Remember, we count up
from the side of the angle at zero. So, we are using the outside numbers for this angle.
T: Measure ∠𝐷𝐷.
S: 60°.
T: What did you discover? Discuss it with your partner.
S: The arc lengths are different, but the degrees are the same.  Both angles are 60°, but ∠𝐷𝐷 looks
different because the sides of the angle are shorter.
T: What would happen if we placed the angles on top of each other? Turn and talk. (Allow time for a
brief discussion.) Let’s try! (Model.)
S: They match up!  The angles are the same size!
T: Imagine a circle drawn with the vertex of ∠𝐷𝐷 as its center point, the end of one segment being the
length to the arc and another circle drawn in the same way around ∠𝐶𝐶.
T: What could you say about the two circles?
S: The circles would be different sizes.  The lengths of the sides of ∠𝐶𝐶 would make a larger circle
than the sides of ∠𝐷𝐷.  The arcs and sides of the angles will be different lengths, but the angle will
measure the same because each angle represents a fraction of 360°.
Problem 3: Use multiple protractors to measure the same angle.

T: Look at the different protractors in front of you. What do you notice about them?
S: Some are 360° protractors, and some are 180° protractors.  Some have only one set of numbers;
others have two sets.  They are all different sizes.  The base line of this one is on the bottom of
the protractor, but the base line of this one is above the plastic.
T: Align your protractors using the center point, just like we did with our two circles at the beginning of
the lesson. Do you see how these different protractors have different arcs?
S: Yes, some are small, and some are big.
T: Yes, but they all measure 360° of a circle.
S: But some only measure 180°.
T: That’s because it is representing half a circle. Notice the tick marks on all of the different
protractors.
S: Some are really close together!
T: Why is that?
S: It’s on the smallest protractor, so that means the arc lengths are shorter than those of the other
protractors.
T: Let’s use at least three different protractors to measure ∠𝐸𝐸.
Allow time for students to measure individually, with partners, or in small groups, depending on the variety of
protractors available in the classroom.
S: All three protractors showed that this is a 130° angle!

T: What does that tell you about the side lengths of an

angle? NOTES ON

Problem Set (10 minutes)

Students should do their personal best to complete the
Problem Set within the allotted time frame. For some
classes, it may be appropriate to modify the assignment by
specifying which problems they should work on first.
Student Debrief (6 minutes)

Lesson Objective: Use varied protractors to distinguish
angle measure from length measurement.
The Student Debrief is intended to invite reflection and
active processing of the total lesson experience.
Invite students to review their solutions for the Problem
Set. They should check work by comparing answers with a
partner before going over answers as a class. Look for
misconceptions or misunderstandings that can be
addressed in the Debrief. Guide students in a
conversation to debrief the Problem Set and process the
lesson.

Any combination of the questions below may be used to

lead the discussion.
 In Problem 1, which angle had the same measure
as ∠𝐺𝐺? ∠𝐼𝐼?
 In Problem 1, which angles had the same angle
measure but different side length measures?
 For Problem 2, discuss your experience of
measuring with different protractors. Describe
how the length of an arc on each protractor did
or did not affect the measure of the given angle.
 How many degrees did the angles in Problem 3
measure? What type of angle is the angle in part

line. Points A, B, and C create ∠𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 and 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴
When three or more points are found on a line,
we call them collinear points. Are points D, E,
and F collinear? Why not?
 Take a look at your 180° protractor. Find pairs of
numbers that label the two scales, such as 150°
and 30°. Name other pairs of numbers. What do
you notice about the pairs of numbers?
 How did the Application Problem help you
understand that an angle measure remains
constant and is not a length measure?
Exit Ticket (3 minutes)

After the Student Debrief, instruct students to complete
the Exit Ticket. A review of their work will help with
assessing students’ understanding of the concepts that
were presented in today’s lesson and planning more
effectively for future lessons. The questions may be read
aloud to the students.
