Go-Around One Protocol• Person #1 reports one idea that she/he
recorded• While Person #1 reports, other group
members listen, but do not question Person#1, comment, or give clues.
• When Person #1 finishes, Person #2 reports while the group listens.
• Repeat until all group members have reported all of their ideas.
• The group discusses ideas that were reported.

Angle Measurement Activity
• Look at the two angles. Which angle is larger?
• Independently answer these questions:– What is an angle?– What does it mean for a triangle to have
180˚?– What does it mean for a four sided figure
to have 360 C ?– What does it mean to say a line has 180
C ?– What does it mean to say a circle has
360 C ?• What is the purpose of this activity?
