Topic options: 
A. Operations & Algebra: students learn to solve problems using algebraic thinking and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They may learn to identify and explain arithmetic patterns, evaluate or manipulate numerical expressions, and reason with equations and inequalities.
B. Functions: students learn to define, use, and evaluate functions to model relationships between quantities.
C. Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.
D. Number & Operations - Fractions: students learn to understand fractions as numbers and may work with them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
E. Number & Operations in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.
F. Statistics & Probability: students learn to analyze and produce data distributions, and build understanding of univariate and bivariate data. They learn to interpret data, make statistical inferences, justify conclusions, understand rules of probability, and use probability to make decisions.
G. Ratios & Proportional Relationships: students learn to recognize, describe, represent, and reason with ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and percent.
H. Measurement & Data: students learn to work with data and measure attributes such as time, money, length, area, and volume. They may learn to compare measurements to operations and convert between different units of measure.
I. Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.
J. Geometry: students learn to classify geometric figures by their properties, and understand and compare the relationships between them. Students develop and use formulas to compute lengths, areas, and volumes, and they use transformations to generate new shapes and compare existing ones. Geometry can be studied with and without coordinates.
K. Modeling: students learn to choose and use appropriate mathematics and statistics to analyze real-world empirical situations, improve decisions, and report on their conclusions and the reasoning behind them.

problem_activity: Narrative
In this warm-up, students practice estimating a reasonable angle measurement based on their knowledge of angles so far and their familiarity with clocks. Later in the unit, students will take a closer look at the angles in an analog clock and apply their understanding of angles to solve more sophisticated problems.
Launch
Groups of 2
Display the image.
“What is an estimate that’s too high? Too low? About right?”
1 minute: quiet think time
Activity
1 minute: partner discussion
Record responses.
Draw an arc to show the clockwise turn of the minute hand from the hour hand (label the
\(143^\circ\)
measurement with an arc).
“Your estimate should show the size of this angle in degrees. If you need to, revise your estimates.”
As needed, record any revisions.
Student Facing
How many degrees is the angle formed by the long hand and the short hand of the clock?

Make an estimate that is:
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"border": "1"}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_attributes": {"scope": "col", "style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "too low"}, {"_attributes": {"scope": "col", "style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "about right"}, {"_attributes": {"scope": "col", "style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "too high"}]}]}, {"tr": [{"td": [{"span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math"]}, "_value": "\\(\\phantom{\\hspace{2.5cm} \\\\ \\hspace{2.5cm}}\\)"}]}, {"span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math"]}, "_value": "\\(\\phantom{\\hspace{2.5cm} \\\\ \\hspace{2.5cm}}\\)"}]}, {"span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math"]}, "_value": "\\(\\phantom{\\hspace{2.5cm} \\\\ \\hspace{2.5cm}}\\)"}]}]}]}]}]}

Activity Synthesis
Consider asking:
“Is anyone’s estimate less than _____? Is anyone’s estimate greater than _____?”
“How did you go about making an estimate? How did you know that _____ must be too low and _____ must be too high?”
“Based on this discussion does anyone want to revise their estimate?”
Consider revealing the actual measurement:
\(143^\circ\)
.
