Setting a protractor is harder than reading one: the child chooses where to start counting, and a single wrong scale turns a 50° angle into a 130° one. A ray is given on each question and the angle is built above it.
If they get stuck
The answer key prints on a separate page.
Reading a protractor is following an instruction; setting one is a decision. A child drawing a 50° angle has to put the tool's origin on the vertex, its zero line along the given ray, and then count from the zero that belongs to that ray — the other scale is right there and gives 130°. That single choice is what these sheets practise.
Each question gives the ray and asks for the angle ABOVE it, and the wording matters more than it looks. Without it the question has two right answers: an angle turned one way and the same angle turned the other are both angle ABC, so a child who turned the other way would have done the mathematics correctly and been marked wrong. The given ray runs along the bottom of each figure and the instruction names the side, so the sheet and its key agree.
