Monday, January 27: We started our official first unit in Envision today. Students learned how to calculate the Interior Angle Sum of any polygon they ever come across.
Tuesday, January 28: Picking up where we left off yesterday, we learned how to calculate angle measures of regular polygons, the exterior angles of polygons, and learned that the exterior angle sum of our polygons will always be 360 degrees!
Wednesday, January 29: Students completed an entry ticket for bell work today, demonstrating what they could remember about finding the measure of one angle inside a regular polygon. Moylan then graded those while students completed an activity to estimate the number of sides a real-world object has and what it might be. After finishing up the activity, Moylan passed back the entry tickets so that we could talk about and better understand how the grading rubric and success criteria will function for this unit/semester.
Thursday, January 30: After bell work, we tried a new approach to covering lesson 6-2 based off the success of students working together through the inquiry-based lesson yesterday. Table partners read through the examples in the book and used that information to complete their “Try It” problems for most of the hour before we came back together whole-class to compare our answers.
Friday, January 31: After bell work today, students worked their way through questions 1-11 and 16-23 (skip 18) for lesson 6-2 (p.259-261) before turning them in and then turning in an Exit Ticket. Students who get the Exit Ticket done with enough time left in class got to start on their homework during class.
