Turtle geometry is a great way to have students practice measuring and drawing skills using a ruler and a protractor. Let represent an imaginary turtle, which is facing the top of the page as drawn. On a sheet of copy paper, use a ruler and protractor to draw the paths the turtle would take if it followed each set of directions. Put each path on a separate sheet of paper. It is probably best to start in the middle of the paper with turtle facing the top. Mark the angles the turtle turns through (BE CAREFUL!!) and then record the measures of the angles and the segments on your drawings. The paths are random and do not make any particular shape. It may also be useful to have a little figure that you can maneuver through the path.
