    Coterminal angles

    Students will learn what coterminal angles are, and practice determining whether two angles are coterminal. Then students will learn how to use coterminal angles to measure and draw angles \(\ge 360^\circ.\)

    Watch these Khan Academy videos:

    • Identifying an angle
    • Measuring angles using a protractor
    • Measuring angles in degrees
    • Angles: introduction
    • Measuring angles using a protractor 2
    • Constructing angles

    Do these Khan Academy exercises:

    • Benchmark angles
    • Measure angles
    • Draw angles
