Our learning objectives today
To use a protractor to:
a) measure acute and obtuse angles to the nearest
degree.
b) draw acute and obtuse angles to the nearest
degree.
To calculate angles on a straight line.

What do we use to help us?

A protractor

Here is a standard protractor like you

use in the classroom.

When we use a protractor, we

need to line it up correctly.

You need to make sure the protractor is lined up correctly.

Is this ready to measure the angle?

Were you right......................it wasnt

Look for the upside down T in the middle of

the straight line on your protractor.
This needs to be exactly on the vertex of
your angle.

We need to remember.....

It doesnt
matter which
way round the
angle is, you
ALWAYS need
to line the upside
down T to the vertex
of the angle.

Now you are ready.

Read from the 0, and follow the inner set of

numbers.

Once you reach 30 you need to be

careful!!!

You then need to look at the 1 markings on

the outer set of numbers.

What does it measure?

This angle measures 35.
