Description

Play as Pilot 360, the pilot of the spaceship seeking the intelligence stones! But in order to do so, you will have to create various angles to connect the spaceships to the base station. In this game, you will master the concept of angles and how they are made!

Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Measuring Angles in Reference to Circles. Suitable for Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5.

Main Concepts

An angle that turns through 1/360 of a circle is called a “one-degree angle,” and degrees are the unit used to measure angles.

Understand equal partitioning and unit iteration to understand angle and turn measure.

Angle measure is a “turning point” in the study of geometry.

Recognize angles as geometric shapes that are formed whenever two rays share a common endpoint.

Identify the measure of an angle that turns through a fraction of a complete circle.

Limited to benchmark fractions ½, 1/3, ¼, 1/8

Identify the angle measure, in degrees, given the fraction the ray of an angle turns.

An angle that turns through n/360 of a circle is called a “n-degree angle” – use multiple values for n.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

In this game, you will rotate a spaceship around a circular orbit - how many degrees are in a circle? In this game, you will move your spaceship 90 degrees to reach a destination - how can you express this rotation as a fraction? How many degrees make up a circle? How many degrees would it take to go one-fourth, one-third, one-half of the way around a circle?

After the Game

In this game, you were required to rotate a spaceship to destination on a circle - how many degrees is 1/8 of a circle? In this game, you were required to rotate a spaceship to destinations on a circle - what is the movement 1/12 would make on the circle? Why is each part of a circle, when broken into four pieces, equal to 90 degrees? If you were to go half-way around a circle, how many degrees would that be and how could you demonstrate that as a fraction?
