4. G.CO.13
G-CO.13. Construct an equilateral triangle, a square, and a regular hexagon inscribed in a circle.

5. GEOMETRY
Geo: earth
Metres: measure
Geometry began as the study of earth measure.

6. GEOMETRIC CONSTRUCTIONS
"Construction" in Geometry means to draw shapes, angles or lines accurately.
These constructions use only compass, straightedge (i.e. ruler) and a pencil.
This is the "pure" form of geometric construction - no numbers involved!

7. Inscribed In: Inscribed Polygon Inscribed Circle
A circle is inscribed in a polygon if the sides of the polygon are tangent to the circle.
A polygon is inscribed in a circle if the vertices of the polygon are on the circle.

8. Equilateral Triangle:
An equilateral triangle is a triangle whose sides are all congruent

9. REGULAR HEXAGON:
A hexagon (six sided polygon) with congruent sides and angles

10. Creating an Inscribed Hexagon
This is one of the easiest constructions ever.
The radius of a circle can be struck around a circle exactly six times.
Lets watch:
Time to Try!!

13. QUESTIONS

14. Having Kittens
Work out whether this number of descendants is realistic.
Here are some facts that you will need:

15. HAVING KITTENS
Can you make a diagram or table to show what is happening?
Can you now look systematically at what happens to her kittens? And their kittens?
Do you think the first litter of kittens will have time to grow and have litters of their own? Then what about their kittens?
What have you assumed here?

16. Collaborative Activity
Work in groups of two.
Produce a solution that is better than your individual solution.
Take turns to explain how your did the task and how you now thing it could be improved, then put your individual work aside. Try to produce a joint solution to the problem.

17. Assessing Sample Student Responses
Your task is to correct the work and write comments about its accuracy and organization.
What has the student done correctly?
What assumptions has he or she made?
How could the solution be improved?

I have checked whether my results make sense and improved my method if need be.
I have presented my results in a way that will make sense to others.
