Decompose angles using pattern blocks.
The core standards covered in this lesson
4.MD.C.7 — Recognize angle measure as additive. When an angle is decomposed into non-overlapping parts, the angle measure of the whole is the sum of the angle measures of the parts. Solve addition and subtraction problems to find unknown angles on a diagram in real world and mathematical problems, e.g., by using an equation with a symbol for the unknown angle measure.

25-30 minutes
a. Place square pattern blocks around the point below so that their corners meet at the point. Fit them like puzzle pieces. How many angles meet at this central point? What is the measure of each of them? Write a number sentence to represent this relationship.
b. Go through the same process as above with triangle pattern blocks.

Problem Set
A task that represents the peak thinking of the lesson - mastery will indicate whether or not objective was achieved
5-10 minutes
Find the measurements of the angles indicated by the arcs.
Use two or more pattern blocks to figure out the measurements of the angles indicated by the arcs.
The Extra Practice Problems can be used as additional practice for homework, during an intervention block, etc. Daily Word Problems and Fluency Activities are aligned to the content of the unit but not necessarily to the lesson objective, therefore feel free to use them anytime during your school day.
Extra Practice Problems
Help students strengthen their application and fluency skills with daily word problem practice and content-aligned fluency activities.

Topic B: Measures of Angles
Use iteration with one physical nonstandard unit to measure benchmark angles.
4.MD.C.54.MD.C.6
Understand that an angle that turns through $${{1\over360}}$$ of a circle is called a “one-degree angle” and can be used to measure angles. Use a makeshift protractor to measure benchmark angles.
Measure angles that are less than 180° using a 180° protractor. Distinguish angle measure from other attributes.
Sketch angles of specified measure using a 180° protractor.
Identify and measure angles as turns and recognize them in various contexts.
Topic C: Measures of Adjacent Angles
4.MD.C.7
Solve problems involving the measure of more than two adjacent angles.
Measure and sketch angles that are greater than 180°.
