Cody Trueblood, Lesson Plan Ideas

Lesson 1 Idea: Different types of special quadrilaterals
Talk about in class-make group conjectures (no matter right or wrong)
Discuss their properties, and then investigate using Geometer’s Sketchpad.
Finally, summarize our class findings as a group.

Lesson 2 Idea: Different types of polygons
Talk about in class-make group conjectures, about how many degrees inside the
polygons, and then investigate using Geometer’s Sketchpad.
Finally, summarize our class findings as a group.

Lesson 3 Idea: Talk about the difference between adding a constant of 10 to a number
and multiplying by 3 to a number, doing each over and over again.
(Linear/Exponential Functions)
Talk about what makes them different, make a table, discuss what a general
equation would look like, then graph the equation, see if it is right, then
summarize as a class, and fully explain the linear/exponential difference.
