 
How will we learn it?
Learning Activities:
 Go over Course Syllabus and Calendar
 Fill out Student Information Sheet
 Icebreaker: Stand Up If…
How will we tell if we’re learning it correctly?
Assessment Methods:
 
Checks for Understanding:
 
What do I need to be successful?
Materials:
 Syllabus
 Calendar/Topic 1 – Tools of Geometry Packet
 Student Information Sheet
 Laptop
What do I need to before next class?
Follow Up/HW:
 HW: Look over Syllabus/Calendars, 1-1 Vocabulary
What are we learning? 1-1 Points, Lines, and Planes Day 1
Framing the Lesson:
 We will be able to understand geometry is a mathematical system built on accepted
facts, basic terms, and definitions.
 I will be able to distinguish between undefined and defined terms of geometry along
with applying correct mathematical symbols.
TEKS/AP/Standards:
 (4)(A): Distinguish between undefined terms, definitions, postulates, conjectures, and
theorems.
 (1)(D): Communicate mathematical ideas, reasoning, and their implications using
multiple representations, including symbols, diagrams, graphs, and language as
appropriate.
Wed/Thur
Frequent, Purposeful Small Group Discussion
 Can you identify the three undefined terms of geometry?
 Can you compare a line and segment?
 How do you name a line in two different ways?
 What are the rules for naming a plane?
 What is the difference between naming and symbols?
Working Power Zone
 When students are working in pairs and independently, the teacher will be
monitoring student’s work.
Writing Critically
 Students will answer “What are the rules for naming a plane?” on the HUB.

 Explain the different types of intersections in points, lines, and planes.
Teacher will ask for questions on previous night’s homework. Teacher will use these
questions for student’s to answer in small group and as a whole.

 HW: 1-1 Points, Lines, Planes WS Day 2
What are we learning? 1-2 Measuring Segments/Midpoint and Distance
Framing the Lesson:
 We will be able to determine the lengths of segments.
 I will be able to use different algebraic processes to solve lengths of segments.
TEKS/AP/Standards:
 (2)(A): Determine the coordinates of a point that is given fractional distance less than
one from one end of a line segment to the other in one- and two-dimensional
coordinate systems, including finding the midpoint.
 (1)(D): Communicate mathematical ideas, reasoning, and their implications using
multiple representations, including symbols, diagrams, graphs, and language as
appropriate.
