Unit 7 Angles And Angle Measurement — Unit Plan

TitleAssessment
Lesson 1
How Would You Describe These Figures?
Lines and More

Here is a drawing on a card:

image of a rectangle with 4 lines drawn inside.
image of a rectangle with 4 lines drawn inside. First line goes from lower left corner to top right corner. Second line goes from lower right corner to top left corner. Third line goes vertically through the middle of the rectangle through the point of intersection of the previous two lines. The lower half darken. Fourth line goes from bottom right corner to the middle of the top side.

Write a description of the drawing that could be used by a classmate to make a copy.

Show Solution

Sample response: Draw two diagonal lines: one from the top left corner to the bottom right, and another from the bottom left corner to the top right. Draw a line that goes up and down through the point where the two diagonal lines cross. From the top of that line, draw a line to the bottom right corner. The bottom segment of the up-and-down line is thicker than the rest of the lines. The lines make a lot of triangles of different sizes.

Lesson 2
Points, Lines, Rays, and Segments
True or False: What’s the Point?

Decide if each statement is true or false. If it is false, correct it.

  1. A point marks a place.

  2. This is a drawing of a ray.

    Straight line with an arrow at one end and a point at the other end inside of a rectangle.

  3. A line can be curved or straight.

  4. This is a drawing of a segment.

    Straight line with arrows at each end that touch left and right sides of rectangle. 

  5. The length of a ray can be measured.

Show Solution
  1. True
  2. True
  3. False. A line is always straight.
  4. False. Sample responses:
    • A line segment is a part of a line and has two endpoints.
    • The drawing shows a line or two rays pointing in opposite directions.
    • This is a drawing of a segment:

      image of line segment

  5. False. A ray goes on forever in one direction so the length cannot be measured.
Lesson 3
Two or More Lines
Parallel and Not Quite Parallel
  1. Explain why these lines are not parallel.

    image of two lines. Top line slanted, higher on the right. Bottom line almost horizontal.

  2. Sketch a line that is parallel to this line.
    image of a line. Slanted higher on the left.
Show Solution
  1. Sample responses:
    • The two lines get closer to each other in one direction. If we extend them, they eventually will intersect.
    • The two lines are not the same distance apart everywhere. The gap between the two lines is noticeably wider on one side and narrower on the other, so the two lines will cross if they’re extended.
  2. Sample responses:

    parallel lines

Lesson 5
What Is an Angle?
Spot the Angles
  1. Jada says Figure A shows an angle, but Figure B does not. Do you agree? Explain your reasoning. ​​​​​

    two figures. Figure A consist of two rays connected at its endpoints. Figure B is a continuous curve with arrows at each end.

    two figures resembling the capital letters L and Y. The letter L consists of 2 line segments that meet at a right angle. The letter Y consists of 3 segment that all meet in the middle. The bottom line segment is slightly longer than the other two.

Show Solution
  1. Yes. Sample responses: Figure A is made up of two rays with the same starting point. Figure B is a continuous curve, so it doesn’t count as an angle.

  2. 3030^\circ. Sample response: 90÷3=3090 \div 3 = 30.
  3. 9090^\circ. Sample response:  60+30=9060 + 30 = 90.
Lesson 14

B
analog clock

Show Solution
  1. 6060^\circ. Sample response: Every time the minute hand moves from one number to the next, it turns 3030^\circ. The angle between the hands is 2 numbers apart, so it is 2×302 \times 30, which is 60.
  2. 150150^\circ. Sample responses:
    • 5×30=1505 \times 30 = 150
    • If it was 6 o'clock, the angle would be 180180^\circ. The angle for 5 o'clock is 3030^\circ less than 180180^\circ.
Lesson 15
Reasoning about Angles (Part 2)
Heart to Heart

Find the measurement of each labeled angle. Show your reasoning.

Show Solution

The measure of Angle C is 4545^\circ and that of Angle D is 135135^\circ. Sample response:

  • Angle C and the 135135^\circ angle together make a straight angle, which is 180180^\circ, so the measure of C is 180135180 - 135, which is 4545^\circ.
  • Angle D, the right angle, and the 135135^\circ angle make 360360^\circ. 90+135=22590+135 = 225 and 360225=135360-225 = 135, which is 135135^\circ.

b.

Problem 3

What are the measurements of Angles A and B if all of the angles add up to 180 degrees? Explain or show your reasoning.

Show Solution
  • Angle A is 9090^\circ because the rays that create the angle are perpendicular.
  • Angle B is 1515 ^\circ because six of them make a 9090^\circ angle (18090=90180 - 90 = 90), so each of them is 90÷690 \div 6 or 15 degrees.
