Addition Of Adjacent Angle Measures


Description

Objective:  Use the addition of adjacent angle measures to solve problems using a symbol for the unknown angle measure.

In Lesson 10, students use what they know about the additive nature of angle measure to reason about the relationships between pairs of adjacent angles. Students discover that the measures of two angles on a straight line add up to 180° (supplementary angles) and that the measures of two angles meeting to form a right angle add up to 90° (complementary angles). In both Lessons 10 and 11, students write addition and subtraction equations to solve unknown angle problems. Students solve these problems using a variety of pictorial and numerical strategies, combined with the use of a protractor to verify answers (4.MD.7).
