Angle Measurement
Review appropriate notation for angle measurement, and describe angles
in terms of the amount of turn. Use reasoning to determine the measures
of angles in polygons based on the idea that there are 360 degrees in a
complete turn. Learn about the relationships among angles within
shapes, and generalize a formula for finding the sum of the angles in
any n-gon. Use activities based on GeoLogo to explore the differences
among interior, exterior, and central angles
