Understanding Angles and Measurements

Mrs. Besson conducts a virtual lesson for fourth-grade students, focusing on angles and their measurement. The lesson covers the definition of angles, how to measure them using a protractor, and how angles relate to fractional parts of a circle. Students learn to classify angles as acute, right, or obtuse and solve related problems. The session includes test preparation and a spiral review of previous math concepts.
