 * Subject:** Mathematics
 * Grade:** 9-12
 * Number**: MA.912.G.2

Find measures of angles , sides , perimeters , and areas of polygons , justifying the methods used. Apply transformations to polygons . Relate geometry to algebra by using coordinate geometry to determine transformations . Use algebraic reasoning to determine congruence, similarity , and symmetry . Create and verify tessellations of the plane using polygons.

All assessments will be graded based on this rubric: A 100%-90% Excellent Understanding B 89%-80% Good Understanding C 79%-70% Some Understanding D 69%-60% Little Understanding F 59%-50% Almost No Understanding

**__Monday: __** ** Benchmark: ** MA 912.G.2.1 ** Description ** : Identify and describe convex, concave, regular, and irregular polygons. ** Objective: ** By the end of this lesson when shown a convex, concave, regular or irregular polygon, the students of this high school geometry class will have the knowledge to identify each type of polygon with 100% accuracy. 
 * Materials Needed: ** Copies of the 2.1 worksheet, access to computers, elmo projector, paper and pencils
 * Activities and Procedure: **
 * 20-25 minutes of class:
 * I will be writing down the notes and the elmo will project them
 * The students will copy the notes as I write them and they can ask questions as we go
 * Along with the notes I will show this video on triangles and quadrilaterals.
 * [|Polygons]
 * After the notes the students will work individually
 * (10 minutes) Half will work on the work sheet, while the other half takes the power point assessment
 * (10 minutes) They will switch: the students on the computer will do the sheet and the ones that were doing the work sheet will now get on the computer.
 * Instructions for each assessment are on the assignments
 * The worksheets will be collected at the end of class
 * The power point will be reviewed at the end of class
 * Assessment: ** 2 assessments:
 * Worksheet (will be collected)
 * [[file:2.1.pdf]]
 * This is one of the assessments. Copies will be passed out in class.
 * Power point (will be reviewed)

**__Tuesday: __** ** Benchmark: ** MA 912.G.2.2 and MA 912.G.2.3 ** Description ** : Determine the measures of interior and exterior angles of polygons, justifying the method used. And use properties of congruent and similar polygons to solve mathematical or real-world problems. ** Objective: ** By the end of this lesson the students of this high school geometry class will be able to determine, with 100% accuracy, the angles of both the interior and exterior angles of polygons without the use of a protractor and use this knowledge to justify real world problems.

**__Wednesday: __** ** Benchmark: ** MA.912.G.2.4 ====** Objective: ** After this lesson, with 100% accuracy, the students of this high school geometry class will be able to both sketch and differentiate between transformations by recognizing congruencies, similarities, and symmetry of polygons. ==== ====**<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Materials Needed: **<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">access to computers, power point assignment, elmo projector, paper and pencils ====
 * Description: ** Apply transformations (translations, reflections, rotations, dilations, and scale factors) to polygons. Determine congruence, similarity, and symmetry. Know that images formed by translations, reflections, and rotations are congruent to the original shape. Create and verify tessellations of the plane using polygons.
