At the end of the lesson students will have to
create a physical/digital geoboard (a geoboard
is a math manipulative that are pegs on a board
and students use elastics to make shapes on
them). They will have to create a circle on the
Geoboards geoboard and create inscribed angles *
subtended by the same arc. After they create it
they will use protractors to prove that they are
all the same angle. At the door the student will
have to show me that they are all the same
