Important Tips
• Have student’s measure angles with a protractor as often as possible. • To help students understand which numbers to read on a protractor, make the relationship to
right, acute, and obtuse angles. • When students are given examples of intersecting lines, make sure that they are exposed to
situations where the intersecting part is not visible. In other words, the lines have to be extended to see the intersecting portion.
• Have the students use some sort of graphic organizer to help them with all the terms they are learning.
• Vary the experiences students have by sometimes using rulers and protractors, patty paper, and the Geometer’s Sketchpad. Keep in mind, even if the students are using the Geometer’s Sketchpad, which can perform the measurements, they can still be required to print a copy of their work and measure the figures with a ruler and protractor.
• When students are exploring the sum of the angles of a triangle, ask them questions such as, if you have an obtuse triangle, give me a description of possible angle measures of the three angles.
• When investigating the parallel line conjecture, do not always present the situation in the typical fashion. Example:
• Sometimes when students are using manipulatives with investigating the triangle inequality, they
try to bend the materials to force a triangle. • Corresponding angles cause difficulties for students. Relate corresponding angles to
translations. Common Misconceptions: • When students extend the sides of polygons to investigate exterior angles, they make inaccurate
extensions. • When investigating triangles inequality situations, students get confused when it is an equality
situation which forms a straight line. • Students think that if their angles in a triangle add up to 177 degrees, it is close enough to 180
degrees. They do not realize that somewhere they made a mistake in measuring and they have to remeasure the angles.
• Students confuse the vocabulary. • Students think if the rays of an angle extend further than another angle, that is what makes the
angle measure larger • Students do not realize that an angle of a triangle extends beyond the triangle

Handouts Key Tips for
The Teacher Vocabulary Building
• Students will use Twizzlers and dot paper to begin the development of the vocabulary. For example, they will use Twizzlers to build a convex and non convex polygon, etc. They will also make graphic organizers to benefit their understanding.
• Twizzlers • Colored Pencils • Magnet Tape • Dot Paper • Scissors • Rulers • Lab Packet pp 5 – 11
• Allow some time for students to work with a partner or group.
• Have magnet tape available so students can put their finished products on the board for group discussion.
Sum of the angles of a triangle
• Students will make triangles and rip off the angles to discover the sum of the angles of a triangle. Connections to exterior angles will also be made.
• 2 pieces of paper • Rulers • Scissors • Colored Pencils • Lab Packet pp 12 - 14
• Have students make assorted triangles that are large so they will be easier to work with but still allows for an extension of the exterior angle. They will also duplicate their triangle.
• Go around the room holding up the various triangles to bring out the terms such as obtuse triangle, acute triangle and right triangle.
Patty paper investigations of special angles
• Students will investigate linear pairs, adjacent angles, and the angles formed by 2 parallel lines cut by a transversal
• Lab packet pp 15– 20 • Patty paper • Rulers • Mechanical pencils
• When students cut their parallel lines by a transversal, make sure to tell them not to make the transversal perpendicular.
• When tracing angles, no free hand tracing. Use rulers.
Euclidean Constructions
• Students will perform the 7 basic Euclidean constructions
• Lab packet pp 21 – 24 • Rulers
• Keep reinforcing that even though some of these

Handouts Key Tips for
The Teacher with paper folding. • Patty paper
• Mechanical pencils constructions seem too simple, the reason is because paper folding is being used to introduce Euclidean constructions that only use a straightedge and compass.
Triangle Inequality
• Students test different lengths of line segments to determine which ones will form a triangle and why some work and others do not work.
• Commercial products for this activity work best however, straws or line segments made out of card stock are also suitable
• Fasteners • Lab packet pp 25 – 33
• Make sure students build the triangles but be careful so they do not “force” a triangle, especially when the measurements are close.
Sum of exterior angles of a polygon
• Students will use assorted regular polygons and measure interior, exterior, and central angles to investigate the relationships. Also investigate symmetry in the regular polygons.
• Lab packet pp 34 - 40 • Protractors • Rulers • Miras
• The majority of the work in the investigation portion will be spent with regular polygons, however, also discuss non-regular polygons and non-convex polygons.

Basic Ideas of Geometry 1. Points are labeled with capital letters
2. A line segment shows a part of a line with two distinct end points: written EF or FE
3. Since a line extends to infinity in each direction, a line has arrows going in opposite directions to symbolize the extension. Lines are labeled in two different ways. I. One method of labeling a line is to use a small letter. It is written as line j II. Another way to name a line is to use any two points that fall on the line.
This line is written either GH or HG 4. A ray is a part of angle. A ray contains an endpoint at one end and an arrow at the other end. The arrow symbolizes that the ray extends to infinity. It does not indicate the direction the arrow is going. The ray contains not only an endpoint, but also a point somewhere on the ray. The ray below is called ray QR and is written, QR . Notice that the endpoint always comes first when naming a ray.
5. An angle contains two rays with a common endpoint called the vertex.

6. An angle that measures 90 degrees is a right angle NLM∠ is a right angle
N
L M
In a drawing, a right angle is indicated with a square 7. Since NLM∠ is a right angle
the rays LN and LM are perpendicular The symbol for perpendicular is ⊥ So we can say LN ⊥ LM (ray LN is perpendicular to ray LM) 8. An angle which measures between 0º and 90º is an acute angle.
9. An angle which measures between 90º and 180º is an obtuse angle.

ADB∠ and BDC∠ are supplementary angles R∠ and S∠ are supplementary angles because their sum is 180º because their sum is 180º 19. Two polygons are congruent if they have all of their corresponding angles and sides congruent. The order of the letters in the statement of congruence indicates which segments and angles are corresponding and congruent.

Looking at Special Angles using Patty Paper I. Vertical Angles Definition: The pairs of opposite angles formed by two intersection lines are called vertical angles. For example, in the diagram, ∠ 1 and ∠ 3 are a pair of vertical angles, and ∠ 2 and ∠ 4 are a pair of vertical angles.
Investigation:
Step 1: Fold a line segment on a patty paper. Unfold and fold a second line segment intersecting the first line segment
Step 2: Label the angles as in the diagram above Step 3: Place a second patty paper over the first and copy one angle of a pair of vertical angles. Rotate the copy to see how well it fits over the second angle of the vertical angle pair. Repeat with the other vertical angle pair.
Write a conjecture about the relationship between a pair of vertical angles.

II. Adjacent Angles and Linear Pairs Definition: Two angles are called adjacent angles if they share a common vertex and a common side but no common interior pints. In the diagram ∠ABD is adjacent to ∠DBC
Definition: A pair of adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines is called a linear pair. For example ∠ 1 and ∠ 2 are a linear pair of angles and ∠ 3 and ∠ 4 are a linear pair of angles.
Investigation:
Step 1: Fold a line segment on a patty paper. Unfold and fold a second line segment intersecting the first line segment
