The student, based on explorations and using concrete models, formulates and tests conjectures about the properties and attributes of polygons and their component parts. Similarity and the geometry of shape. The student applies the concept of similarity to justify properties of figures and solve problems. Student Expectations and Instructional Targets. 3.Students choose second proof they wish to construct.
Students view and construct third proof.
Students brainstorm to create other problems that could be solved using the Pythagorean Theorem. Students view and construct a model of the Great Pyramid. Students create models of the pyramids Khafre and Menkaure. Students take on-line quiz. Students design a real-life situation in which the Pythagorean Theorem would be used.
