Example 3:
Problem/activity:
Task
Suppose $A$ is an angle with vertex $P$, as pictured below:
[IMG]
Draw a circle with center $P$ and with  radius $r \gt 0$.  Explain why the circle
meets each ray of angle $A$ in a single point.  Label these points $Q$ and $R$ respectively.
Draw circles with centers $Q$ and $R$ respectively and radius $r$.  These circles meet at $P$ and a second point to be labelled $B$.
Show that ray $\overrightarrow{PB}$  bisects angle $P$.


Standard options: 
A. Make formal geometric constructions with a variety of tools and methods (compass and straightedge, string, reflective devices, paper folding, dynamic geometric software, etc.). Copying a segment; copying an angle; bisecting a segment; bisecting an angle; constructing perpendicular lines, including the perpendicular bisector of a line segment; and constructing a line parallel to a given line through a point not on the line.
B. Construct an equilateral triangle, a square, and a regular hexagon inscribed in a circle.

problem_activity: Warm-up
The purpose of this warm-up is for students to practice solving an equation for an unknown value while thinking about a coordinate pair,
\((x,y)\)
, that makes the equation true. While the steps to solve the equation are the same regardless of which value of
\(x\)
students choose, there are strategic choices that make solving the resulting equation simpler. This should be highlighted in the discussion.
Launch
Encourage students to not pick 0 for
\(x\)
each time.
Student Facing
For each equation choose a value for
\(x\)
and then solve to find the corresponding
\(y\)
value that makes that equation true.
\(6x=7y\)
\(5x+3y=9\)
\(y+5-\frac13 x=7\)

Activity Synthesis
Collect the pairs of
\(x\)
’s and
\(y\)
’s students calculated and graph them on a set of axes. For each equation, they form a different line. Have students share how they picked their
\(x\)
values. For example:
For the first problem, choosing
\(x\)
to be a multiple of 7 makes
\(y\)
an integer.
For the last problem, picking
\(x\)
to be a multiple of 3 makes
\(y\)
an integer.
