MA.4.GR.1 is a B.E.S.T. standard. These are the benchmarks under it.

Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students sketch angles and use a protractor to measure them in degrees. They sort angles by size and identify the vertex and rays.
What Mastery Looks Like: Students accurately use a protractor to find an angle measure. They draw a requested angle and classify angles as acute, right, obtuse, or straight.
Common Misconceptions: Students may think longer rays make a larger angle. They often misalign the protractor or read the wrong number scale. They may also confuse the boundaries between acute, right, obtuse, and straight angles.
How to Assess It: Exit ticket: Measure and classify one printed angle, then draw a 120° angle and label its vertex and rays.

Lesson moves

Use hinged craft sticks and a printed protractor to build, trace, measure, and label angles of 30°, 90°, 125°, and 180°.
Ask: How can you prove an angle is obtuse without guessing, and what measurement evidence supports your claim?
Play Angle Sort Relay: teams measure angle cards, place them under acute, right, obtuse, or straight headings, then check with answer cards.
Photograph or sketch five classroom angles, estimate each type and measure, then record the object, estimate, and actual degree measure.
