Mathematics Enhanced Scope and Sequence – Geometry Angles, Arcs, and Segments in Circles Reporting Category Polygons and Circles Topic Investigating angles and segments of circles Primary SOL G.11a The student will use angles, arcs, chords, tangents, and secants to investigate, verify, and apply properties of circles. Related SOL G.7 Materials • Activity Sheets 1 and 2 (attached) • Dynamic geometry software package (Lesson can be modified for use without computers.) • Straightedge • Pencil Vocabulary circle, chord, diameter, radius (earlier grades) secant, tangent, secant segment, tangent segment, arc, minor arc, major arc, angle measure, arc measure, arc angle, arc length, central angle, inscribed angle, interior angle, exterior angle, chord, segment, (G.11), AA similarity (G.7) Student/Teacher Actions (what students and teachers should be doing to facilitate learning) 1. Have students complete Activity Sheet 1, using a dynamic geometry software package. If time is limited, assign the later parts to groups. 2. Have students discuss their findings with their partner after each item is completed. Have them record these findings on their own activity sheet. 3. Discuss findings as a whole class. If some parts were assigned to groups, have the groups present their results. 4. Have students complete Activity Sheet 2. 5. Have students discuss their findings with their partner. 6. Discuss findings as a whole class. ° Assessment • Questions ° o What is v° + w° + x° + y° + z°? Explain your reasoning. °
