standard_description: Recognize angles as geometric shapes that are formed wherever two rays share a common endpoint, and understand concepts of angle measurement:
- An angle is measured with reference to a circle with its center at the common endpoint of the rays, by considering the fraction of the circular arc between the points where the two rays intersect the circle. An angle that turns through 1/360 of a circle is called a “one-degree angle,” and can be used to measure angles.
- An angle that turns through n one-degree angles is said to have an angle measure of n degrees.
problem_activity: Task
California is in the fifth year of a drought. Towns have been asked to decrease water use across the state. The graph below shows the water storage in Lake Sonoma, a reservoir in Northern California from 1988, shortly after it was first filled, until February 1, 2015.
What questions do you have looking at the graph?
Describe some of the features of the graph.
What might explain these features?  (Consider data collection, weather events and reservoir management decisions.)
Based on the given information, should the region that depends on Lake Sonoma for water use implement additional water conservation measures?
