Given the voting rights amendments, students will create an annotated time line that illustrates how voting rights have been extended to various groups of people throughout the history of the United States.
Given Supreme Court case summaries, students will compare and contrast the impact of the Plessy v. Ferguson and Brown v. Board of Education decisions.
Introduction to Logical Reasoning
This activity provides the opportunity to explore the validity of the converse, inverse, and contrapositive of statements. It also assists in recognizing the connections between biconditional statements and true conditional statements with a true converse.
Introduction to Probability
This activity provides the opportunity to explore the difference between finding the probability of independent events and dependent events. It also addresses how to use a tree diagram when calculating conditional probabilities.
Given information about political reforms of the Progressive Era, students will evaluate the impact of those reforms.
Given background information, students will be able to identify and analyze various methods of expanding the right to participate in the democratic process.
Using Logical Reasoning to Prove Conjectures about Circles
Given conjectures about circles, the student will use deductive reasoning and counterexamples to prove or disprove the conjectures.
Creating Nets for Three-Dimensional Figures
Given nets for three-dimensional figures, the student will apply the formulas for the total and lateral surface area of three-dimensional figures to solve problems using appropriate units of measure.
Making and Verifying Conjectures about Three-Dimensional Figures
Students will explore volume conjectures and solve problems by applying the volume formulas to composite figures.
Constructing and Justifying Statements about Geometric Figures
Students will distinguish between undefined terms, definitions, postulates, conjectures, and theorems and investigate patterns to make conjectures about geometric relationships.
Using Counter Examples to Disprove Statements That Are False
Given statements about a geometric relationship, the student will use counter examples to disprove statements that are false.
Using Inductive Reasoning to Formulate Conjectures
Students will practice identifying the converse, inverse, and contrapositive of conditional statements.
Using Logical Reasoning to Prove Statements are True
Given statements about a geometric relationship, the student will distinguish between the undefined terms, definitions, postulates, conjectures, and theorems to prove the statements are true.
Using Properties of Transformations
Given examples of mathematics in the real world, the student will use properties of transformations and their composites to describe and perform transformations of figures in a plane.
Developing Algebraic Expressions to Represent Geometric Properties
The student will investigate patterns to make conjectures.
Developing Algebraic Expressions to Represent Geometric Properties of Polygons
Given numerical and/or geometric patterns that represent geometric properties of polygons, the student will develop algebraic expressions that represent the geometric properties.
Developing Algebraic Expressions to Represent Geometric Properties of Angle Relationships in Polygons
Given numerical and/or geometric patterns that represent geometric properties of angle relationships in polygons, the student will investigate patterns to make conjectures about interior and exterior angles of polygons.
Applying Pythagorean Triples to Solve Problems
Given verbal and pictorial representations of problem situations, the student will apply patterns from right triangles whose sides are Pythagorean Triples to solve the problems.
Introduction to Coordinate Geometry
The students will use multiple representations of undefined terms on a coordinate plane to solve problems.
Coordinate Geometry: Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
Given characteristics of two lines, such as slopes and equations, the student will determine whether the lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
