How can I make my protractor fill in the angle that I make with the protractor. By default it does but I don't know what I did to make mine not fill in anymore. Any help ASAP would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jamie

Hi Jamie,

When you have the protractor on the page, have the pen tool selected and put your Activpen on the curved edge until you see a pen icon. Then you can trace around the angle and have your filled in angle in the color of your choosing.

Try this;

When you have the protractor on the page. Right click (Mac = Control Click) the protractor. There should be a option for "Fill Segments". Make sure there is a check mark there.

We figured it out a few minutes after the fact I changed the setting by right clicking on the protractor and so we right clicked again to change it back to fill the angle instead of outline it

Glad to hear that you got it figured out!

Jamie,

Please post your flipchart here! I don't teach "protractor math" this year, but may be moving to fifth or sixth grade next year, and would be very interested to see what you do with the protractor!
