=Stage 1 - Identify Desired Results= Geometric Figures Grade 9 - Diploma Students justify statements about polygons and solve problems ||
 * **Establish Goals (MLR):** **(G)** ||
 * Maine Learning Results: Mathematics - C. Geometry

//What understandings are desired?//
•every shape has a different equation that can help solve problems. •using the appropriate formula(s) can be used to solve missing dimensions. ||
 * **//Students will understand that://** **(U)** ||
 * •statements about polygons can be used to solve problems.

//What essential questions will be considered?//
•Why does different shapes have different equations? •How can formulas be used to solve for missing dimensions? ||
 * **Essential Questions:** **(Q)** ||
 * •How can statements help you solve problems about polygons?

//What key knowledge and skills will students acquire as a result of this unit?//
distance formula, formulas for the shapes •terminology: Angle, side, base, hypotenuse, adjacent, opposite, circumference, area •shapes: triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon, circle, parallelogram, trapezoid, diamond || •explain: justify a statement to solve a problems. •interpret: make sense of the shape's equations. •apply: solve for missing dimensions. •perspective: analyze a statement. •empathy: relate the correct equation to the shape. •self-Knowledge: realize when to use certain formulas. ||
