A complete formative lesson with embedded slideshow, mini lecture screencasts, checks for understanding, practice items, mixed review, and reflection. I create these assignments to supplement each lesson of Pearson's Common Core Edition Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry courses. See also mathquest.net and twitter.com/mathquestEDU.

Solve It! Think of a clock or watch that has an hour hand and a minute hand. As minutes pass, the distance between the tip of the hour hand and the tip of the minute hand changes. This distance is x in the clock shown. Sort the times below from least to greatest length of x ?

Problem 1 Got It? What inequality relates LN and OQ in the figure?
Problem 1 Got It? Reasoning: In △ABC, AB = 3, BC = 4, and CA = 6. In △PQR, PQ = 3, QR = 5, and RP = 6. How can you use indirect reasoning to explain why m∠P > m∠A ?

Problem 2 Got It? The diagram shows a pair of scissors in two different positions. In which position is the distance between the tips of the two blades greater?
Problem 2 Got It? How does the Hinge Theorem apply to this scenario?

Problem 3 Got It?
Problem 4 Got It? Complete the proof on the canvas.



Error Analysis: From the figure, your friend concludes that m∠BAD > m∠BCD. How would you correct your friend's mistake?
Compare and Contrast: How are the Hinge Theorem and the SAS Congruence Postualte similar? How are they different?
