Abstract
The curriculum provided in the following pages is intended for use in a high school Geometry
classroom. The objective of these materials is to provide a unique, hands-on experience for
students when first encountering a topic to support students’ conceptual understanding as they
progress through the unit. The four non-consecutive lessons serve as introductions to the
following topics: triangle angle theorems, parallel lines cut by a transversal, writing proofs, and
triangle congruence theorems. These topics were chosen based on student misconceptions
witnessed in the author’s own classroom in an alternative education setting. The lesson activities
were designed to encourage inquiry, metacognition, and whole class conceptual discussions. The
NYS Next Generation Mathematics Learning Standards and corresponding objectives are
provided within the introduction to each lesson.
