Lesson 1 Instructional Materials

Vocabulary Matching Game

Congruent

Equal in size and length.

All angle measures and
side lengths are equal

Right Angle

Angle that equals 90

Similar

The ratio of any two

linear dimensions of one
shape will correspond to
another of the same
geometric shape.

Acute Angle

Angle that equals less

than 90

Adjacent

Lying next to each other

Obtuse Angle

Angle that equals

greater than 90

Hypotenuse

The longest side of a

right triangle

Equilateral

All sides are equal

Leg

A side of a triangle; one

of the sides of a right
triangle that is not the
hypotenuse

Isosceles

Two sides of equal

length

Angle

The amount of turn

between two straight
lines that have a
common endpoint

Scalene

Three unequal sides

Lesson 2 Instructional Materials
For this lesson, I plan to write out notes using the document camera in our room. I will
also have students create a foldable to input their notes. I have attached a teacher
example of each below.

Lesson 3 Instructional Materials

In this lesson, students will be making triangle out of paperclips and taking notes about
their findings. The only instructional material used in this lesson is the paperclips.

Lesson 4 Instructional Materials

I will use Geometers Sketchpad to introduce the topic of congruence and similarity
among other polygons. I have attached screenshots of Geometers Sketchpad. The
students will also be using paperclips in this lesson, like in Lesson 3.
