Purpose:
This instructional unit has been designed with the high
school geometry student in mind. It is based on the curriculum standards
developed for geometry in the Georgia public school system and closely matches
the quality core curriculum (QCC) objectives established by the state. The
unit develops material for high school geometry teachers to use for approximately
10 days of mathematics instruction. Students should be able to work through
the material and gain specific knowledge about finding area to various geometric
figures as well as make application of area to probability. The lessons
will incorporate the use of The Geometer's Sketchpad (GSP) application software
to enhance content development and give students hands-on experiences with
area and probability.
