Solve problems involving the measure of more than two adjacent angles.
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.
The foundational standards covered in this lesson
1.OA.D.8 — Determine the unknown whole number in an addition or subtraction equation relating three whole numbers. For example, determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8 + ? = 11, 5 = _ – 3, 6 + 6 = _.

Topic B: Measures of Angles
Use iteration with one physical nonstandard unit to measure benchmark angles.
4.MD.C.5 4.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
Decompose angles using pattern blocks.
4.MD.C.7
Solve problems involving the measure of two adjacent angles.
Measure and sketch angles that are greater than 180°.
