Identify angles at a point and one whole turn - Reasoning

In this geometry activity, students are challenged to use their understanding of angles at a point and a whole turn to determine missing angles. They are provided with a set of digit cards, each displaying a single digit: 5, 7, 9, and 1. The task requires that each card be used only once to fill in the blanks and complete the angle measurements given. This exercise not only tests their knowledge of angles but also their problem-solving skills as they must figure out which digit fits where to make the angles add up correctly around a point.

The angles presented in the activity vary, with some being known, such as 0˚, 27˚, and 90˚, and others missing a digit, represented by a blank space (e.g., 6_˚, _8˚). To successfully complete the task, students must understand that the sum of angles around a point is 360 degrees. By using this key principle, they can deduce the missing digits by adding the known angles and subtracting from 360 to find the sum of the missing angles. Then, they must use the digit cards to construct these missing angles, ensuring that no digit is repeated. The reasoning behind their choices must be explained, demonstrating their understanding of the angle properties and their logical approach to the problem.
