1. How many sections do you see in the circle above? Check the answer 8

2. Since the circle has a total of 360 degrees, how many degrees is each section? Check the answer Divide 360 by 8= 45 degrees

An angle is the space between two lines, called "rays," that have the same endpoint.

The letter "B" represents the endpoint. That end point is called "vertex." The letters A and B represent the rays. The angle is the space between the two rays.

Angles are measured in degrees. The number of degrees tell you how wide open the angle is. Degrees are marked by a ° symbol.

When measuring angles, you go counterclockwise. Imagine a clock.

Start to measure where the 3 would be on a clock. That would be called a zero angle because there is nothing in it - just a single ray going directly to the right. As would you go up to 2, 1, and 12 on a clock, you would be opening the angle. When you reached 3 o'clock again, you would have a complete rotation of 360 degrees.

3. Look at the letter L. If you place that letter on the circle, how many degrees would that letter have? Check the answer 90 degrees

A 360 degree angle is an angle that does a full circle. The "L" shaped angle forms what is called a right angle.

You can measure angles with a tool called "protractor." A protractor represents half of a circle, or 180 degrees. You can buy a protractor at just about any store that carries school items.
