Name: <strong>Dennis</strong> <strong>Kapatos</strong><br />
Grade: 11<br />
Subject: <strong>Geometry</strong><br />
Lesson Objectives:<br />
● Students will be able to write/describe and prove <strong>The</strong>orem 12.10 and its corollaries.<br />
● Students will be able to prove <strong>The</strong>orem 12.11, and explain how it can be thought <strong>of</strong> as a<br />
corollary to <strong>The</strong>orem 12.12.<br />
● Given a geometric figure with missing measurements, students will be able to apply the<br />
theorems learned so far to find them.<br />
● Students will be able to work cooperatively to make and test conjectures <strong>of</strong> geometric<br />
figures.<br />
Reviewing Homework:<br />
1. Answers to the homework questions 1-13, and 18 will be shown with the projector. Students<br />
will correct their own homework.<br />
2. Teacher will haves students go over their solutions to question 20 and any questions that the<br />
majority <strong>of</strong> students had trouble with.<br />
3. Teacher will ask one student to present their pro<strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>The</strong>orem 12.9 to the class for discussion.<br />
Anticipatory Set:<br />
4. Teacher will ask student to construct any quadrilateral using compasses, rulers, and/or Mira’s.<br />
5. Teacher will ask students to measure all the angles <strong>of</strong> their quadrilateral.<br />
6. Students will share what their angle measurements are and conclude that any angle can have<br />
any measure.<br />
Developmental Activity:<br />
6. Teacher will ask students to construct a large circle with any quadrilateral in it, with its<br />
vertexes on the circle (an inscribed quadrilateral).<br />
7. Again, students will measure their angles and look for a relationship (opposite angles are<br />
supplementary).
