Module 4: Angle Measure and Plane Figures
This module introduces points, lines, line segments, rays, and angles, as well as the relationships between them. Students construct, recognize, and define these geometric objects before using their new knowledge and understanding to classify figures and solve problems. With angle measure playing a key role in their work throughout the module, students learn how to create and measure angles, as well as create and solve equations to find unknown angle measures.
Topic A: Topic A begins with students drawing points, lines, line segments, and rays, and identifying these in various contexts and familiar figures. As they continue on, students recognize that two rays sharing a common endpoint form an angle. In Lesson 2, students create right angles through a paper folding activity, and identify right angles in their environment by comparison with the right angle they have made. They also draw acute, right, and obtuse angles. This represents their first experience with angle comparison and the idea that one angle’s measure can be greater (obtuse) or less (acute) than that of a right angle.

Topic B: Students explore the definition of degree measure. Beginning in Lesson 5 with a circular protractor, students divide the circumference of a circle into 360 equal parts, treating each part as representing 1 degree (4.MD.5). Students apply this understanding as they discover that a right angle measures 90 degrees and, in turn, that the angles they know as acute measure less than 90 degrees, and obtuse angles measure more than 90 degrees. The idea that an angle measures the amount of “turning” in a particular direction is explored, giving students the opportunity to recognize familiar angles in varied positions (4.G.1, 4.MD.5).
Lesson 5: Use a circular protractor to understand a 1-degree angle as 1/360 of a turn. Explore benchmark angles using the protractor.
