LESSON 12.1 Describe Plane Shapes FOCUS COHERENCE RIGOR LESSON AT A GLANCE F C R Focus: Common Core State Standards Learning Objective 3.G.A.1 Understand that shapes in different categories (e.g., rhombuses, rectangles, and others) may share attributes (e.g., having four sides), and that the shared attributes can define a larger category (e.g., quadrilaterals). Recognize rhombuses, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories. Identify and describe attributes of plane shapes. MATHEMATICAL PRACTICES (See ematical Practices in GO! in the Planning Guide for full text.) MP5 Use appropriate tools strategically. MP6 Attend to precision. MP7 Look for and make use of structure. Student pairs brainstorm then check the textbook to list some ways to describe two-dimensional shapes.

About the Professional Development Why Teach This Plane geometry is the study of figures in a plane or flat surface. Students need to understand the following geometric terms because other geometric concepts and terms are built upon them. A plane is a flat, continuous, unending surface. Planes can contain s (exact locations in space), lines (straight, continuous, unending collections of s), line segments (parts of lines with two ends), and s (parts of lines with one end that continues in one direction without end). Plane shapes are two-dimensional. A shape, such as a circle or square, starts and ends at the same. An shape does not start and end at the same.

LESSON 12.1 2 EXPLORE Unlock the Problem MATHEMATICAL PRACTICES Have students read the introduction to make connections between mathematics and the real world. Discuss that the architect uses plane shapes to represent what will become the roof, walls, windows, and doors of the building. MP6 Attend to precision. Review the highlighted math words with students. Look at the picture of the line. What do the arrows mean? that the line continues in both directions and does not end How are a line and line segment alike? How are they different? Alike: both are straight. Different: a line segment has two ends, but a line continues forever in both directions. Why does a only have one arrow? It continues in only one direction. of a line. 697 Chapter 12 Use to check students understanding of the definition Could you measure a? a line segment? Explain. Possible answers: You could not measure a since it goes on forever in one direction, but you could measure a line segment because it has two end s. ELL Strategy: Frontload Frontload essential vocabulary including, line, ends, line segment and to build understanding of the properties of plane shapes. Explain the definitions of, line, ends, line segment, and with words and pictures. Have students rephrase the definitions in their own words. Prompt students by asking questions. What do you know about a line segment? A line segment is part of a line. A line segment does not go on forever. Have students record the vocabulary with a drawing and labels in their Journal. MP2 Reason abstractly and quantitatively. What plane shape can be formed with three line segments? triangle 3.G.A.1 Understand that shapes in different categories (e.g., rhombuses, rectangles, and others) may share attributes (e.g., having four sides), and that the shared attributes can define a larger category (e.g., quadrilaterals). Recognize rhombuses, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories. Describe Plane Shapes Essential Question What are some ways to describe two-dimensional shapes? Unlock the Problem An architect draws plans for houses, stores, offices, and other buildings. Look at the shapes in the drawing at the right. A plane shape is a shape on a flat surface. It is formed by s that make curved paths, line segments, or both. is an exact position or location ends s that are used to show segments of lines ends Some plane shapes are made by connecting line segments at their ends.

How can you tell if a shape is? It starts and ends at the same ; the lines or curved paths are connected, with no ing. Is a three-sided shape always? Explain. No; possible explanation: because two sides may not be connected How could you change an shape so that it is a shape? Connect the starting and ending s. Is a cardboard box a two-dimensional shape? Why or why not? No, because it has 3 dimensions length, width, and height or thickness The answer to this question is yes: Is a a shape? What could go in the blank? Answers will vary. Possible answers: a circle or any polygon students name such as a triangle, rectangle, square, pentagon. How can you describe the paths in the shapes on this page? Some are straight and others are curved. Which shapes have both kinds of paths? the B and the pie with a missing piece Tell students that their books describe some shapes having straight paths or curved paths. That is because in geometry, a shape can be made up of one, the other, or both. Point out that when we talk about shapes we may use line to mean something different. We may use it to mean a line segment or even a curved path. Hands On Use to focus on students understanding of shapes with curved paths. Advanced Learners Visual Individual COMMON ERRORS Draw the following shapes on the board. Which plane shape is formed by only line segments? triangle by only curved paths? circle by both? letter D Then have students print uppercase letters in their name and describe each with respect to whether it has line segments or curved paths. Error Students might confuse lines, line segments, and s. Example Students may name a line segment as a line when describing the square on page 697. Springboard to Learning Draw a line and remind students that it continues in both directions. Then draw two s on the line. Explain that a segment is part of the line, so it has ends. Then to and explain that a has only one end. 698

A circle is a plane shape made of s that are the same distance from the center. The center is the in the middle of the circle. A radius is a line segment. One end is always the center of the circle. The other end is on the circle. A diameter is a line segment that passes through the center of the circle and has its ends on the circle. Investigate Students will draw a circle and label its parts. Draw a on a sheet of paper. Place a pencil in each end of a paper clip. Place one pencil on the you drew. Move the first pencil around to draw a circle. Use a ruler. Draw a radius and a radius diameter. center Label the parts of your circle. diameter Why does the paper clip represent the radius of your circle? It is the distance from the center of the circle to the outside of the circle. Summarize Can a square have a in the center so that all the s on the sides of the square are the same distance from it? No; if you draw a shape so that all the s are the same distance from one, it is a circle. So, it will not be a square. 701 Chapter 12

These same topics are used often in the development of various science concepts and process skills. The team decided the best solution would be to build another bridge across the Ohio River. Active Reading As you read these two pages, underline the sentences that describe steps in the design process. The next steps in the design process are to develop, test, and improve a prototype. The engineers gather data about important features of the bridge design, such as how stable it is and how much weight it can support. The team may modify minor aspects of the design based on this data. If the data show that the prototype has significant flaws, the team must start over again. They redesign the bridge by making major changes to their initial plan. 60 (bkgd) Corbis S.T.E.M. Activity Chapter 12 Planning and Building Use with ScienceFusion pages 60 61. Develop Vocabulary 1.

What is the main idea of the S.T.E.M. activity on pages 60 61? The main idea of the activity is to describe steps in the design process, including prototyping and communicating results. 120 Help students make the connection between math, science, and engineering through the S.T.E.M. activities and activity worksheets found at www.thinkcentral.com. In Chapter 12, students connect math, science, and engineering with the S.T.E.M. Activity Planning and Building and the accompanying worksheets (pages 119 and 120). Through this S.T.E.M. Activity, students will connect the GO! Chapter 12 concepts and skills with various applications of geometry, including designing a bridge. Students will also discover the overall role that math plays in science. It is recommended that this S.T.E.M. Activity be used after Lesson 12.3. 702
