-Digital
copy of Master B (p89) (gif format) - this can
be imported into a drawing or paint program so that
some of the activity could be done electronically
-You
may want to use an actual protractor to overlay on
top of the drawn protractors on Master B
-To
prevent so many lines being drawn on Master B, you
may want to have students use spaghetti noodles or
string instead of drawing the lines and see where
the noodles or string intersect and mark the
intersection point
