1	Points, Lines, Segments, Rays & Angles, Simple Closed Curves, Special Pairs, Transversal, Intersecting Lines, Parallel, & Perpendicular Lines, Constructions, Intro to technology/GSP Initial basic investigation	Review Terminology Practice Constructions (click here for steps) We will have a quiz tomorrow on 1 construction and definitions Intro to GSP (Click here for the Quad. Lab). You can complete this Investigation as a portfolio entry p. 3 - 19, 25, 26 (EG). Make sure to play around with each of the 11 investigations. Save your work for pgs. 13, 14, and 15.

2 & 3	Triangle Properties, Constructions, Altitudes, Perpendicular Bisector, Medians, Constructing Triangle Centers (folding, compass and s.e.. and gsp), Triangle Inequality Theorem, Triangle Similarity & Congruence, Midsegment Theorem, Area and Perimeter, Pythagorean Theorem	Classified Triangles by side length and angle (see Classifying Triangles Activity handout) Constructed (paper folding & GSP) altitudes, angle bisectors, perpendicular bisectors, and medians in a variety of triangle types. Constructed the centroid, incenter, orthocenter and circumcenter of triangles using GSP. Day 2 in-class write up on this triangle centers investigation. Day 3 in-class write -ups from Napolean Excircles Medial Triagles	For day 2, you may select a write-up from one of the following problems from the InterMath website: Find the Hidden Treasure Capture the Flag All Swimmed Out On day 3 you may choose one from the following: Biggie Size It! Equal Areas: Triangle Inside a Rectangle Optimal Triangles Triangle in a Quadrilateral Transforming Triangle
4 & 5	Properties - Convex, Concave Interior & Exterior Angles, Diagonals, and Symmetry Quadrilaterals, Area and Perimeter, Constructions based on properties	In class on Wednesday… we worked on properties of quadrilaterals with the card sort activity. Then we constructed quadrilaterals (In class assignment/write-up). So the in class from day 4 is 8 constructions and 1 proof from the Rethinking Proof text (see class handout for p. #s The day 5 in class write-up is your webpage!!	On day 4, you may select a write-up from one of the following problems from the InterMath website: Equal Sides Two Squares Penning for Pony Constructing Squares Triangle or Square On day 5, you may select a write-up from one of the following problems from the InterMath website: Triangles in Hexagons Medial Polygons (also look here for ideas Apothem and Area
