I am attempting to create an activity where angle measures from a geometry component are captured so that they pop up in a table.  
Then a student would manipulate the geometry diagram and then capture again several times.

I am specifically looking at slide 9 of this activity:

Any help about what CL I should use would be much appreciated!!  
Thank you!

There’s no CL for geometry components, so best you can do is direct them to record things into a table or input.

A quick Google search led me to this screen, which is similar to the one on screen 9 but would allow you to capture the angles.
