1. Points, Lines & Planes

20m

This program teaches the properties of basic shapes of 0, 1 and 2 dimensions and an explanation of the relationship between points, lines and planes. Four basic postulates are taught and applied. Students will Learn: Points — identify points; name points. Lines — identify lines; name lines; use the correct symbol for lines. Planes — identify planes; name planes.

2. Segments, Rays & Angles

20m

This program teaches three important geometric concepts and an explanation of the different angle types based on their measures, using units called degrees. Students will Learn: Segments: identify segments, name segments, use correct symbol for segments. Rays: identify rays, name rays, use correct symbol for rays. Angles: identify angles, name angles, use correct symbol for angles.

3. Segment Postulates & Angle Postulates

20m

This program teaches using coordinates on a number line to find segment lengths along with the proper use of a protractor to measure angles. It uses problem solving to find missing segment lengths and angle measures. Problems involving algebra are also incorporated into the lesson. Students will Learn: The Ruler Postulate – used to find the length of segments on a number line. The Segment Addition Postulate – used to add or subtract segment lengths. The Protractor Postulate – used to find angle measures. The Angle Addition Postulate – used to add or subtract angle measures.

4. Coordinate Plane

20m

This program teaches the coordinate plane, its parts and how it is used to graph points on a 2-dimensional coordinate system. It also offers practical modern-day application of the coordinate plane as it relates to maps. Students will Learn: How to use The Distance Formula to find the length of a segment on a rectangular coordinate system. How to use The Midpoint Formula to find the coordinates of the midpoint of a segment on a graph.

5. Classifying Triangles

20m

This program provides a discussion of the basic definition of a triangle and demonstrates how to classify triangles according to their side lengths and/or angle measures. The following Triangle types are taught: Scalene, Isosceles, Equilateral, Acute, Right, Obtuse, Equiangular.

6. Finding Triangle Measures

20m

This program introduces the concept of a theorem and models how to find angle measures for interior and exterior angles for a variety of triangles. Several examples are demonstrated, using algebra as a part of the problem solving process. Students will Learn the Two Theorems Related to Triangles are: The Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem, The Exterior Angle Theorem.
