Teacher Created Formative Assessment
The topic of study that my formative assessment involves is the different
types of angles, lines, quadrilaterals squares, rectangles, trapezoids, rhombuses, and
parallelograms as well as being familiarized with a protractor. This unit is for a
fourth grade math level and connects with the TEKS:
(b) Knowledge and skills.
(8) Geometry and spatial reasoning. The student identifies and describes
attributes of geometric figures using formal geometric language. The student
is expected to:
(A) identify and describe right, acute, and obtuse angles;
(B) identify and describe parallel and intersecting (including
perpendicular) lines using concrete objects and pictorial models; and
(C) use essential attributes to define two- and three-dimensional
geometric figures.
Fill in the blank:
1. As we read from the textbook, “The numbers on the inner edge of the protractor”
are called the inner __________
Answer=Scale
-Bloom’s Taxonomy cognitive level: Knowledge
2. The units that we use for measuring angles are known as _______
Answer= Degrees
- Bloom’s Taxonomy cognitive level: Knowledge
3. As we have seen from pictures during class, if a line is vertical and another line is
horizontal and they intersect each other, then the two lines are considered to be
_____.
Answer= Perpendicular
- Bloom’s Taxonomy cognitive level: Knowledge
4. As we discussed in class, a parallelogram with opposite equal acute and obtuse
angles and four equal sides is known as a _______
Answer= rhombus
-Bloom’s Taxonomy cognitive level: Comprehension
5. Angles are formed when two rays ________ eachother.
Answer= intersect
- Bloom’s Taxonomy cognitive level: Knowledge

9. A 180 degree angle is what fraction of a circle?
A. 1/4
B. ½ (answer)

B. Inner scale
C. Outer scale (answer)
- Bloom’s Taxonomy cognitive level: Knowledge
True/False:
11. As it can be seen on the protractor, the acute angle is the large angle, which is
greater than 90 degrees.
Answer= False
- Bloom’s Taxonomy cognitive level: “Comprehension”
12. This is an example of parallel lines:
Answer= True
- Bloom’s Taxonomy cognitive level: Knowledge
13. As defined by the textbook, “The center mark is always at the of the middle of
the zero-edge”
Answer= True
- Bloom’s Taxonomy cognitive level: Knowledge
14. A shape that has four equal sides and four right angles, is a triangle.
Answer= False
- Bloom’s Taxonomy cognitive level: Knowledge
15. A reflex angle is less than 180 degrees
Answer= False
- Bloom’s Taxonomy cognitive level: Knowledge
Essay:
16. Identify and describe the three angles: right, acute, and obtuse. Then draw two
examples for each of these angles.
- Bloom’s Taxonomy cognitive level: “Applying”
17. Compare and contrast the two different parts of an angle (vertex, arms) and
draw and label these parts.
- Bloom’s Taxonomy cognitive level: “Analyzing”
18. Compare and contrast the difference between a rhombus and a square. Draw a
picture of these two shapes and clearly label the parts of the shapes that make them
differ from each other.
- Bloom’s Taxonomy cognitive level: “Analyzing”
19. Relate three different examples of where you see right, acute, and obtuse angles
in everyday life and nature. Give two examples of each angle.
- Bloom’s Taxonomy cognitive level: “Evaluation”
20. Using the information we learned in class, summarize the two different
explanations of the discovery of the protractor. Include and expand on describing
the Persian calendar and use of the stars.
