Recognize angles as geometric shapes that are formed wherever two rays share a common endpoint, and understand concepts of angle measurement:

MGSE4.MD.5b

An angle that turns through n one-degree angles is said to have an angle measure of *n* degrees.

MGSE4.G.1

Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines. Identify these in two-dimensional figures.
