Segment Bisectors 2.1
MN Standard: Geometry.9.3.3: Know and apply properties of
geometric figures to solve real-world and mathematical problems and
to logically justify results in geometry.
Benchmark 1: Know and apply properties of parallel and
perpendicular lines, including properties of angles formed by a
transversal, to solve problems and logically justify results.
Benchmark 6: Know and apply properties of congruent and similar
figures to solve problems and logically justify results.
MN Standard: Geometry.9.3.4: Solve real-world and mathematical
problems using algebraic methods.
Benchmark 4: Use coordinate geometry to represent and analyze
line segments and polygons, including determining lengths, midpoints
and slopes of line segments.
Students will know and apply properties of geometric figures such as
angles and segments, setting the foundation and the basics of logical
thinking in order to prepare for proofs using if-then statements and
properties of congruency.
Analyze segment bisectors by being able to explain what bisect
means, identify the coordinates of the midpoint of a segment and
also compare and contrast segments and interpret if they are
congruent, as well as identify segments in nature.
a. Domain-specific academic vocabulary: Midpoint, segment,
segment bisector, bisect, ray, line, coordinates, lengths, variable,
congruent, value, expressions.
b. General academic vocabulary: Name, determine, find, recognize,
diagram, classify, visualize, solve, evaluate.
c. Sentence Frame: Determine if M is the midpoint of segment AB,
explain your reasoning. Find the coordinates of the midpoint of
segment XY. Name the segment bisector of segment AB.
d. Lesson Part 2 Assessment (below), students will be given an
opportunity to collaborate and discuss with partners what the
definition of midpoint is using at least 2 of the following words:
midpoint, bisector, segments, coordinates, formula. If students have
a hard time discussing they will be able to write down their
definition.
-In order accomplish the learning target and to provide more accurate
to work with. They will also be given copies of the notes printed from
the SMART board at the end of class or delivered to them in the
that is also available to help with note taking and provide them
Notability application. The paraprofessional is also allowed to take
those students out of class to work independently with them on
assignments, quizzes, etc. as needed.
-Students with vision difficulties will be allowed to choose seats at the
front of the class in order to see better, when it comes to graphing
 and angles its important to see the minor details for understanding
they will also be given tests printed in a larger text in order to see it
better.
-Shortened assignments will be given to students who have a hard
time with writing and processing, however they need to be able to
demonstrate that they know and understand the class goals and
learning target before getting reduced assignments.
-Students with processing difficulty will be given a list of definitions
from the chapter, specifically focusing on bisect, segment, midpoint,
and angles in order to help aid them on homework and tests in hopes
of accomplishing the learning target for this section. The midpoint
formula will also be provided on tests and quizzes in order to
eliminate the common errors that come with memorization. Extra time
will also be allowed on quizzes and tests, given that they finish them
within 2 days of the date the test was given.
-Students who struggle with writing may take pictures of all handouts
and upload them to notability on their iPads in order to make writing
easier.
-Students will be asked to describe vocabulary words to the teacher
or the paraprofessional to make sure they have a deep
understanding for the new words. Specific students will be asked to
complete problems on midpoints in front of the teacher in order to
demonstrate that they know the steps needed. If they struggle they
may be given additional problems to work on in study hall with the
paraprofessional.
Resources & materials The students will need: Geometry Concepts and Skills, McDougal
needed Littell/Houghton Mifflin Company, 2005 textbook chapter 2, pp. 50-
101 posted on Schoology on iPads, KWL chart handout, 3 questions
