 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * In this unit students will consider the essential questions: How do we draw geometric shapes?, Why do we describe geometric shapes?, and Why do we relate geometric shapes? Through a series of six lessons students will learn various definitions, formulas, and methods. By the end of the unit students will understand that geometric figures can be drawn and constructed, that there are different ways to describe shapes, and that there are relationships between geometric shapes. With this knowledge students will be able to model how to draw geometric figures, represent different shapes in different ways, solve word problems using angle measures, compare and contrast geometric shapes, relate measures to a larger scale, and recognize congruence between triangles. Students will prove there knowledge through various projects using different types of type II technology. These technologies incude: iMovie, blogs, wikis, Glogster, Google SketchUp, and Prezi. ||
