Big Idea 1: Polygons are comprised of triangles
|
OAS-M: G.2D.1.3, G.2D.1.6 |
Lessons and Additional Activities
Big Idea 1 Lessons 1-4 Overview (includes links to teacher notes and student activities)
|
Evidence of Understanding
Explore and prove relationships about interior and exterior angles of polygons
Explore and prove relationships about polygons
Explore and prove relationships of regular polygons
-
Apply knowledge about triangles to generate and test conjectures about regular polygons
-
Find the value of missing interior and exterior angles in a regular polygon
-
Find the area and perimeter of a regular polygon
|
Big Idea 2: Congruent polygons are defined by their congruent angles and sides.
|
OAS-M: G.2D.1.7 |
Lessons and Additional Activities
Big Idea 2 Lessons 1-4 Overview (includes links to teacher notes and student activities)
|
Evidence of Understanding
Describe qualities that make two polygons congruent or incongruent
-
Identify corresponding parts (angles and sides) of polygons by annotating
-
Use examples and non-examples to justify that corresponding parts of congruent polygons congruent
-
Explore whether equal perimeters or areas mean figures are congruent (or vice versa: if figures are congruent then decide if their perimeters or areas are equal)
|
Big Idea 3: Congruent corresponding angles and sides are used to prove triangles are congruent.
|
OAS-M: G.2D.1.8 |
Lessons and Additional Activities
Big Idea 3 Lessons 1-4 Overview (includes links to teacher notes and student activities)
|
Evidence of Understanding
Prove two triangles are congruent
Justify the minimum requirements that show two triangles are congruent
-
Make conjectures about the minimum corresponding parts of the triangle needed to construct a congruent triangle
-
Experiment with constructions to support these claims
-
Give examples, non-examples, or counterexamples about these claims
-
Justify that when all corresponding sides of two triangles are congruent (SSS) there is sufficient evidence to show that these two triangles are congruent
-
Justify that when two corresponding sides and the included angle are congruent (SAS) there is sufficient evidence to show that these two triangles are congruent
-
Justify why the angle has to be the included angle of the corresponding sides (SSA does not work)
-
Establish the minimum criteria necessary to prove two right triangles are congruent using the hypotenuse and a leg (HL)
-
Justify that when two corresponding angles and the included side of two triangles are congruent (ASA) there is sufficient evidence to show that these two triangles are congruent
|
Big Idea 4: Quadrilaterals can be classified by their sides, diagonals, and angle measures.
|
OAS-M: G.2D.1.4 |
Lessons and Additional Activities
Big Idea 4 Lessons 1-3 Overview (includes links to teacher notes and student activities)
|
Evidence of Understanding
Distinguish trapezoids, parallelograms, rectangles, kites, rhombuses, and squares using properties of their sides and angles
-
Identify and use properties that result in quadrilaterals being part of the same “family”
-
Examples: rectangle, square, and rhombus are all parallelograms
Explore and prove relationships about interior and exterior angles of quadrilaterals
Explore and prove relationships about angles and sides of a parallelogram
-
Identify and justify congruent angles and sides of a parallelogram
-
Prove opposite sides and angles of a parallelogram are congruent
-
Prove same side/consecutive interior angles of a parallelogram are supplementary
-
Prove a given figure is a square, rectangle, or rhombus
-
Find the measure of a missing value or measurements
Investigate the relationship between the diagonals of a quadrilateral and its other characteristics
-
Prove diagonals of parallelograms bisect each other
-
Prove diagonals of rectangles are congruent
-
Prove diagonals of a rhombus perpendicularly bisect one another
-
Find the measure of the missing length of a diagonal
