Respect the learning process of your colleagues — allow them the opportunity to think, reflect and construct. When assisting your colleagues, pose questions to better understand their constructed meanings. We ask that you refrain from simply telling your colleagues how to do a particular task. Marilyn Carlson, Arizona State University THE Rules of Engagement Square Triangle Angle Define Quadrilaterals Quadrilaterals The Broomsticks The RED broomstick is three feet long The YELLOW broomstick is four feet long The GREEN broomstick is six feet long Perimeter What is “it”? Is the perimeter a measurement? …or is “it” something we can measure? Measurement What do we mean when we talk about “measurement”? •Using objects at your table measure the angle Angles How about this? •Determine the attribute you want to measure •Find something else with the same attribute. Use it as the measuring unit. •Compare the two: multiplicatively. Measurement Warm-up: Geometric Fractions 1 2 3 4 5 See: A. Bogomolny, Pythagorean Theorem and its many proofs from Interactive Mathematics Miscellany and Puzzles http://www.cut-the-knot.org/pythagoras/index.shtml, Accessed 12 September 2014 Is this a proof? 1 a Area of one green triangle = 2 𝑎𝑏 b Area of blue square = 𝑐 2 a c Area of whole (red) square = c b (𝑎 + 𝑏)(𝑎 + 𝑏) OR 1 4 ∙ 𝑎𝑏 + 𝑐 2 2 This means that: c c a b 𝑎 + 𝑏 𝑎 + 𝑏 = 2𝑎𝑏 + 𝑐 2 𝑎2 + 𝑎𝑏 + 𝑎𝑏 + 𝑏2 = 2𝑎𝑏 + 𝑐 2 b a 𝑎2 + 2𝑎𝑏 + 𝑏2 = 2𝑎𝑏 + 𝑐 2 𝑎2 + 𝑏2 = 𝑐 2 Indiana (1896) House Bill 296, Section 2: “…that the ratio of the diameter and circumference is as fivefourths to four;” What is the mathematical value they are proposing for Pi?

Share. What is a scale factor? Teaching Geometry According to the Common Core Standards, H. Wu Revised: April 15, 2012. Grade 7 notes, p.49: Working with similar figures “Similar means same shape different size.” “All rectangles are the same shape. They are all rectangles!” “Therefore all rectangles are similar.” CCSS: Grade 2 (p.17) CCSS: Grade 7 (p.46) CCSS: Grade 7 (p.46) From the Progressions ime.math.arizona.edu/progressions CCSS: Grade 8 (p.56) Teaching Geometry According in Grade 8 and High School According to the Common Core Standards, H.
