What’s Included in This 4th Grade Math Unit
This hands-on unit combines structured lessons, guided practice, and fun review games that make measuring with protractors both visual and interactive.
Mini-Lesson (1 total):
Students glue a reference page into their math notebooks to learn how to properly use a protractor. The visual guide walks through aligning the baseline, reading both inner and outer scales, and drawing angles accurately — a perfect tool for yearlong reference.
Worksheets (10 total):
Students practice measuring and drawing angles in multiple ways, including:
-
Measuring given angles using a protractor
-
Drawing angles of specified measures
-
Matching angles to the correct protractor reading
-
Identifying measurement mistakes and correcting them
-
Error analysis practice and real-world problem solving
Error Analysis Sort:
Students use their analytical skills to determine whether each protractor measurement is correct. They check off correct answers and fix incorrect ones, reinforcing accuracy and attention to detail.
Matching Activity – Salad Bowl Sort:
Students measure angles and sort ingredients into the correct salad bowls based on their measurements. This no-prep sorting game adds a fun and visual element to angle practice.
Game #1: To the Finish
Students spin a paperclip spinner and race toward the finish line. Each time they land on a card space, they solve a protractor task card. The first player to reach the finish wins — a perfect blend of luck and skill!
Game #2: Build a Carnival
Students earn carnival pieces for each correct angle measurement. Chance cards make gameplay unpredictable, and the first to complete their carnival picture wins! All cards focus on protractor measurement and accuracy.
Game #3: Whole-Class Game – Bucket Filler!
Students move around the classroom solving protractor task cards. Each correct answer earns an entry into the classroom “bucket.” Winners are drawn randomly for prizes, making review sessions exciting and interactive.
Game #4: Racing Game – Line Them Up!
Teams race to arrange angle measurement task cards in the correct order. The first team to reach the finish card wins, reinforcing both speed and precision with protractor use.
All games include both color and black-and-white versions for flexible printing options.
