Evergreen Public Schools LaunchLaunch You turn on a lamp, and it doesnt work. What would you do to get it to work? Evergreen Public Schools LaunchLaunch This flow chart shows a process you could use. Evergreen Public Schools LaunchLaunch Make your own flowchart that can be used to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Evergreen Public Schools ExploreExplore 7 Before we play any game, like Monopoly, we need to agree on rules. Pass Go, Collect $200 Evergreen Public Schools What is acceptable in a game or society depends on the agreements. Collect money from some who lands on your property. Evergreen Public Schools To be a citizen in a country agree to the Constitution and Bill of Rights. First Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Evergreen Public Schools As a consequence of the First Amendment In Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, 393 U.S. 503 (1969), the Supreme Court extended free speech rights to students in school. The case involved several students who were punished for wearing black armbands to protest the Vietnam War. The Supreme Court ruled that the school could not restrict symbolic speech that did not cause undue interruptions of school activities. Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School DistrictU.S.503 Vietnam War Evergreen Public Schools Before we begin, we need to make agreements. There are terms what we can draw and describe, but do not define. point line plane Evergreen Public Schools Definitions are true. Define triangle parallel lines Evergreen Public Schools In this class, the world is flat. What do you think? Still dont believe me? Describe the top of the white board. Describe the shape of the parking lot. How many degrees are in a triangle? Evergreen Public Schools How many degrees are in a triangle? What does a triangle look like on a globe or an orange? Evergreen Public Schools Use a straightedge to draw a line on your paper. 1)How many lines can you draw that are parallel to that line? Draw a point on your paper. 2) How many lines can you draw that are parallel to your original line and pass through your point? Evergreen Public Schools There is exactly one line that is parallel to a given line through a given point. Statements that we agree to be true are called postulates. Evergreen Public Schools Triangle Sum Theorem Why do you believe ? Evergreen Public Schools Why do you believe ? Evergreen Public Schools Why do you believe ? Evergreen Public Schools What kind of reasoning did we use? Did anyone find a counterexample? We use deductive reasoning to prove it is always true. So we believe Evergreen Public Schools We want to prove ABC is a triangle This is given to us. Draw auxiliary line BD so that AC || BD. There is exactly one line that is parallel to a given line through a given point. DD Evergreen Public Schools We want to prove AC || BD. exactly one parallel line If parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then alternate interior angles are congruent. Together the three angles form a straight angle which is 180. Evergreen Public Schools We want to prove AC || BD substitution This is what we wanted to prove. Evergreen Public Schools A Path to Theorems ABCSum Evergreen Public Schools We use inductive reasoning to make a conjecture. A Path to Theorems Evergreen Public Schools Can we find a counterexample? Lets see a bunch of triangles online.online Since we cant find a counterexample we think this is true. We use deductive reasoning to prove it is always true. A Path to Theorems Evergreen Public Schools We use deductive reasoning to prove it is always true. We write a logical sequence of steps. Each step is justified. What do we use for the justifications? Evergreen Public Schools Debrief How do we get from a conjecture to a theorem? How do we develop the sequence of steps in the flowchart? Where do the justifications come from? Evergreen Public Schools Learning Target Did you hit the target? I can prove the Triangle Sum Theorem. Rate your understanding of the target from 1 to 5. 5 is a bullseye! Evergreen Public Schools Put the arrows into the flowchart proof. Given Given Supplementary angles substitution add to 180 Supplementary angles add to 180
