Reply To: Lesson 2 – Building A Continuum Of Measurement – Discussion

[Kristin Snell]

Comparing angles

Direct comparison: looking at a pair of angles and trying to decide which one is bigger/smaller; putting one angle on top of the other

Indirect comparison: I wonder if using string to overlay each angle will tell anything? I must try this.

Direct measurement: using a protractor

Indirect measurement: figuring out if they would be supplementary or complementary through measuring

I’m not sure on all of these… it’s food for thought. I was trying to come up with something different than what was already done.
