912Geometry_AngleBisector_Warmup_Construct_AngleBisectorWarmup

Posted on by

This warm up is designed for geometry students learning about angle bisectors. A picture of a segment bisecting an angle is given, along with five choices for setting up the equation to solve for the measure of each angle. A word bank and a sentence starter are provided to aid in the construction of an argument determining how to solve for the variable. Students are asked to create a claim and use prior knowledge as evidence to support the argument.

912Geometry_ClassifyTrianglesMidpoint_Warmup_Construct

Posted on by

This task is used as a warmup in geometry classes. The task focuses on classifications of triangles, and the postulates that come with the relationships between side lengths and angles. One problem asks students to construct an argument about scalene triangles and their angles. Students are also asked to find the midpoint of a line segment on a coordinate plane.

912Geometry_ClassifyTrianglesMidpoint_Warmup_Construct

Posted on by

This warm up is created for geometry students learning about triangles. There are three problems, one asking students to find the midpoint of a segment on a coordinate plane, another asking students to construct an argument to justify a claim, and another asking students to classify triangles. Argumentation language is used in the first two problems, encouraging the use of evidence.

This warm up is created for geometry students studying special right triangles. In two examples, students are given a side length and an angle measurement and must find the other two side lengths. Students are to construct an argument defending one of their side lengths in the final problem.

912Geometry_SRT_SimilarTriangles_Warmup_Construct_SimilarityWarmup

Posted on by

This similarity warmup has geometry students focus on the definition of similar triangles and has students engage in one practice problem. Students are asked to fill in the blanks providing definitions for similar triangles, focusing on congruent angles and proportional side lengths. Students must construct an argument telling why two triangles are or are not similar.

912Geometry_SRT_SimilarTriangles_Warmup_Construct_SimilarityandDilationsWarmup

Posted on by

Similarity and Dilations Warmup is geared towards geometry students. The task provides two triangles on a coordinate plane and asks students to determine if the triangles are similar and construct an argument that supports the answer. The task does not provide measurements of the sides of the triangle and requires students to be able to read the coordinate plane as well as identify similar triangles.

912Geometry_SRT_PythagoreanTheorem_Warmup_Construct_PythagoreanTheoremWarmup

Posted on by

This warm up is designed for geometry students learning the Pythagorean Theorem. The first two problems contain a triangle with a missing side length that students need to solve for. The third question asks students to use argumentation language to construct a justification for one of their answers. An answer key is provided, with key pieces of information that should be included in the argument.

912Geometry_CorrAngles_Warmup_ConstructCritique_CritiquingReasoningProblems

Posted on by

Critiquing Reasoning Problems is a task created for geometry students learning about corresponding angles. Students are given four problems and must either construct an argument or critique another’s reasoning with a claim and evidence. Vocabulary such as alternate-exterior angles, same-side exterior angles, and linear pair are used, alongside pictures and proofs to supplement the questions.

912Geometry_CO_TriangleCongruence_Warmup_Construct_CongruencePostulates

Posted on by

This warm up is created for geometry students learning triangle congruence postulates. Students are given two problems, one with two triangles that share a side and one with two separate triangles. The questions contain argumentation language and ask students to construct an argument determining if the triangles are congruent.
