IV.NotesonAssessment
- Observe students as they work.
- Then collect all student statements and diagrams.
- Check student work for accuracy.
- Provide feedback/correction as needed.
Diagrams
I.SectionObjectives
- Provide the diagram that goes with a problem or proof.
- Interpret a given diagram.
- Recognize what can be assumed from a diagram and what can not be
- Use standard marks for segments and angles in diagrams.
II.Cross-curricular-Airports
- Begin this activity by reviewing each of the eleven postulates in the chapter.
- Make a list of them and their characteristics on the board.
- Then move on to the activity.
- Use a copy of the map of the runway at O’Hare International Airport. This is Figure02.05.01.
- http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O’Hare_International_Airport
- Ask the students to use colored pencils to find an example of each of the eleven postulates.
- They need to use a color to highlight each example.
- Then they can use this color as an indicator and write a description of HOW the example illustrates the
postulate. - Do this for all of the eleven postulates.
- When students are finished, allow time for them to share their work.
III.TechnologyIntegration
- Have the students do a search for different housing floor plans.
- They can use the following website for the search or another of their own choosing.
- http://www.thehousedesigners.com/
- Then ask the students to make a list of how the different postulates apply to housing floor plans.
- Would it be possible for houses to be designed without these postulates?
- Conduct a class discussion on this topic.
IV.NotesonAssessment
- Collect the airport maps and student notes.
- Check them for accuracy.
- Did the students follow the directions?
- Is each of the eleven postulates represented?
- Were the students able to write a written explanation of how the postulate is shown in the map?
- Provide feedback/correction as needed.
