LEARNING-FOCUSED Lesson Plan

Plan for the concept, topic, or skill Not for the class period

Name
:

Topic:

Meliton Reyes Jr.

Tangent, secant, and chords angles and

segments (2-1, 2-2, 2-3)

Standard/s

Learning Goals for this Lesson

Students will know:
1. tangent, secant, chords angles
2. power theorem

G-C.2 Identify and describe relationships among

inscribed angles, radii, and chords.
Students will be able to:
1. identify tangent, secant and chord
2. differentiate the strategy to be used when the vertex is
outside, on, and inside the circle
3. know the strategy to used when solving segments
produced by intersecting chords, secant-secant lines, and
tangent-secant lines

Lesson Essential Question

How do you use the concept of tangent, secant, and chords to

solve for the angels and segments formed by lines and circles?

Activating Strategy

Viewing a video on Ant Mill (a group of army ants, which are blind,

are separated from the main foraging party, lose

the pheromone track and begin to follow one another, forming a
continuously rotating circle; the ants will eventually die
of exhaustion)
Key vocabulary to preview and vocabulary strategy
Tangent, secant, chords

Lesson Instruction
Learning Activity 1
Students will solve the angles and arcs when the vertex formed by two
lines (tangent-tangent, tangent-secant) is located outside the circle

Graphic Organizer
Table indicating things to
remember for each topic

Assessment Prompt for LA 1

Sample problems
Learning Activity 2
Students will solve the angles and arcs when the vertex formed by two
lines is located outside or on the circle.

Assessment Prompt for LA 2

Students will solve for the angles and arcs when the vertex is either
outside, on, or inside the circle

Assignment
1. Search and watch videos

Learning Activity 3 (from angles to segments)

Students will be same intersecting lines (tangent, secant or chords) but
they have to solve for the line segments instead of angles.

Assessment Prompt for LA 3

Students will be given a set of circles where they need to solve for line
segments

Summarizing Strategy
