Re-Thinking the Geometry Curriculum **Modules** [|Links to Geometry tasks organized by unit] (Lisa B) >> Construct Bisectors, to find a point equidistant from 3 points (could use patty paper) >> >> Construct perpendicular bisectors & circumcenters, divide rectangle into regions, use proportions >> Explore characteristics of polygons, Make a connection between the number of vertices in a polygon and the number of cameras needed to monitor an area. Discover the formula for the maximum number of cameras needed to cover an n-gon >>
