Measuring an angle: using a protractor - Lesson Sequence

This singular lesson is designed to introduce students to the correct use of a protractor, focusing on the essential skills of angle estimation and measurement. The teacher will model the use of both a digital and/or physical protractor, demonstrating how to measure accurately.

Students will then engage in hands-on activities, where they estimate and measure both internal and external angles of shapes. This lesson blends guided instruction with independent practice, ensuring students gain confidence in using protractors while solidifying their understanding of angles. Perfect for introducing geometry in a clear and structured way!

This learning sequence is recommended to be used in line with the Using a Protractor Trio (Teacher slides, lesson sequence and student activity).
