Part 5: Checking More Homework and
Introducing a New Formula [Begin: 32:40]
|
After the students finish the worksheet, the teacher asks them to get out "The
worksheet we did on Friday after the quiz." This worksheet has two problems.
The first contains a map of two streets intersecting in a 45 degree angle with a
triangular shaped piece of land between the streets. A boundary line divides the
piece into two parking lots. The task includes finding the measure of the angle formed
by the property line and First Street, and suggesting a more equal way to divide
the lots. The teacher elicits the answers to these questions from the students, helping
out when the students are stuck. The second problem involves finding the sum of the
interior angles for a six-sided figure. The teacher asks students for the answers
they found using their protractors. The teacher then presents a formula and asks
students to try it out. |
