MATH:        MA.4.GR.1.1      MA.4.GR.1.2     MA.4.GR. 1.3

  • Informally explore angles as an attribute of two-dimensional figures. Identify and classify angles as acute, right, obtuse, straight or reflex.
  • Estimate angle measures. Using a protractor, measure angles in whole-number degrees and draw angles of specified measure in whole-number degrees. Demonstrate that angle measure is additive.
  • Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving unknown whole-number angle measures. Write an equation to represent the unknown.

SCIENCE:   SC.4. L.16.2

  • Explain that although characteristics of plants and animals are inherited, some characteristics can be affected by the environment.

 

Learning Targets and Learning Criteria

The student will:

  • Understand, identify, and draw angles.
  • Measure angles using degrees.
  • Use fractional parts of a circle to measure angles.
  • Explain how degrees are related to fractional parts of a circle.
  • Use benchmark angles to estimate the measures of angles.
  • Use a protractor to draw and measure an angle.
  • Write an equation to find an unknown angle measure.
  • Explain that some characteristics (traits) of plants are inherited by offspring from parents (e.g., type of plant, color of flower, leaf shape, size).
  • Explain that some characteristics (traits) of plants are affected by the environment (e.g., fires, humans, pollution, diet, temperature, amount of sunlight).
  • Explain that some characteristics (traits) of animals are inherited by offspring from parents (e.g., freckles, height, dimples, eye color, fur color, beak size, beak shape, camouflage)
  • Explain that some characteristics (traits) of animals are affected by the environment (e.g., feather color based on diet, fur length based on temperature, gender of offspring based on temperature).
