Determine approximate measures of angles in degrees to the nearest whole number using a protractor.
The intent of 4.7C is to move students from guided examples to independent work with Approximate measures.
Aligned tasks under 4.7C balance fluency and reasoning so students can explain decisions about Approximate measures.
Students may rely on procedures without reasoning or mix key terms. Build in quick oral explanations, error analysis, and vocabulary supports tied to 4.7C.
Start with concrete or familiar examples, connect to prior knowledge, model a clear process, and provide checks for understanding aligned to 4.7C.
Standard 4.7C describes the essential skills and understandings for Approximate measures in Grade 4. It clarifies the learning outcomes and what successful work looks like.
It lays groundwork for the next grade by deepening accuracy and flexibility with Approximate measures, so students can tackle more complex problems later.
