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).
