problem_activity: Activity
The purpose of this activity is to let students determine how to use straightedge and compass moves to construct a regular hexagon precisely. Students should play with construction moves until they reach their goal rather than follow an explicit demonstration of construction steps. While the term
regular
appears in the task, it is not important for students to know the precise definition of
regular polygon
at this time.
Identify students whose explanations that the sides are congruent use tracing paper, or compare the radii of the different circles in the construction. Tracing paper connects to the idea of rigid motions, while comparing radii references the precise definition of a circle, which students will use throughout this unit and subsequent units.
Digital
Launch
Arrange students in groups of 2. Give students 10 minutes of work time followed by a whole-class discussion.
Engagement: Develop Effort and Persistence.
Encourage and support opportunities for peer interactions. Invite students to talk about their ideas with a partner before writing them down. Display sentence frames to support students when they explain their reasoning. For example, “Each of the sides of the shape I constructed are the same length because....”
Supports accessibility for: Language; Social-emotional skills; Conceptual processing

Here is a hexagon with all congruent angles and all congruent sides (called a
regular
hexagon).
Try to draw a copy of the regular hexagon using only the pen tool. Draw your copy next to the hexagon given, and then drag the given one onto yours. What happened?
Here is a figure that shows the first few steps to constructing the regular hexagon. Use straightedge and compass moves to finish constructing the regular hexagon. Drag the given one onto yours and confirm that it fits perfectly onto itself.
How do you know each of the sides of the shape are the same length? Show or explain your reasoning.

Are you ready for more?
Why does the construction end up where it started? That is, how do we know the central angles go exactly 360 degrees around?

Anticipated Misconceptions
If students spend more than a few minutes without significant progress, tell them the segment given in the figure is one of the 6 sides of the hexagon. Invite students to compare the given hexagon to the start of the construction. Then ask if they can draw another segment to make an adjacent side of the hexagon.
Activity Synthesis
The purpose of this discussion is to build toward the concept of a proof by asking students to informally explain why a fact about a geometric object must be true. Ask previously identified students to share their responses to “How do you know each of the sides of the shape are the same length?”
Writing, Speaking, Conversing: MLR 1 Stronger and Clearer Each Time
. Use this with successive pair shares to give students a structured opportunity to revise and refine their response to “How do you know each of the sides of the shape are the same length?” Ask each student to meet with 2–3 other partners in a row for feedback. Provide students with prompts for feedback that will help individuals strengthen their ideas and clarify their language. For example, “Can you explain how…?”, “How do circles help with the construction?”, “What do you know about radii that helps here?”, or “What do you mean by…?”. Students can borrow ideas and language from each partner to strengthen their final explanation.
