Each student will need a protractor. The idea of this lesson is to us different types of angles to combine together in order to get a certain angle left out of the circle. For example, two 150 degree angles placed side to side would leave 20 degrees open. Two 45 degree angles would leave 270 degrees left. Have the students explain the results in terms of acute, obtuse, and right angles.
