As we continue to prepare for the WAS1 this month0 toda" we are going to re/iew the use of a new measuring too 2 the protractor. +an an"one te me what we measure !" using the protractor3 Angles 1et4s ta'e a !rief minute and re/iew the different t"pes of ang es. What is the definition on an ang e3 Where is a /erte5 ocated on an ang e3 What are the different t"pes of ang es3 +an "ou define them3 Show me an e5amp e of each t"pe of ang e in this room. 6ow0 if the t"pe of ang e is determined !" it4s measure in degrees0 then our -o! toda" is to earn how to use a protractor to find an ang es e5act measurement.
