Lesson Plans

Basic Definitions in Geometry:

A set of basic definitions in geometry (line segment, ray, angle, perpendicular lines, and parallel lines) is addressed. The notation used in naming each defined term is also emphasized.

Type: Lesson Plan

Musical Chairs with Words and a Ball:

This lesson introduces students to concepts and skills that they will use throughout the year. Students will learn that the terms point, and line are considered "undefined." Students will play musical chairs while learning to develop precise definitions of circle, angle, parallel line, and perpendicular line, using counterexamples at different classroom stations. Students will identify models, use notation, and make sketches of these terms.

Type: Lesson Plan

Sage and Scribe - Points, Lines, and Planes:

Students will practice using precise definitions while they draw images of Points, Lines, and Planes. Students will work in pairs taking turns describing an image while their partner attempts to accurately draw the image.
