Instructional Ideas
- After completing the proofs together as a class, have individuals write a paragraph explaining the process used to get to the conclusion
Classroom Considerations
- A review of proportions and proportionality may be necessary
- You might need to extend the lesson to multiple days depending on the strength of the class
- The lesson is a continuation of a 36-part series
Pros
- Develops the highlighted theorem through the understanding of dilations from previous lessons
- Provides a teacher guide that details the concepts to emphasize
Cons
- With the focus on the proofs, lower performing learners may become overwhelmed and miss the connection to the theorem
