Opening Exercise
Joe and Marty are in the park playing catch. Tony joins them, and the boys want to stand so that the distance between any two of them is the same.1. Where do they stand?2. How do they figure this out precisely?3. What tool(s) could they use?

Example 1: Sitting Cats
Margie has three cats. She has heard that cats in a room position themselves at equal distances from one another and wants to test that theory. Margie notices that Simon, her tabby cat, is in the center of her bed (at S), while JoJo, her Siamese, is lying on her desk chair (at J). If the theory is true, where will she find Mack, her calico cat? Place an M where Mack will be if the theory is true.

Lesson CheckWe saw two different scenarios where the construction of an equilateral triangle was used to help determine a needed location.
Describe another scenario where the construction of an equilateral triangle might be useful and articulate how you would find it.

Day 2 Warm Up1. Trade homework with someone at your table.2. Follow the directions he/she wrote for #1 or #3. 3. What kinds of difficulties did you have as you
followed your classmate’s directions?4. Think about ways to avoid these difficulties. List
at least 3 criteria or expectations for writing steps in constructions that should be included in a rubric for evaluating your writing.

Adding On…1. Using the skills you have practiced, construct three
equilateral triangles, where the first and second triangles share a common side, and the second and third triangles share a common side.
2. Clearly and precisely list the steps needed to accomplish this construction.
3. Switch your list of steps with a partner and complete the construction according to your partner’s steps.
4. Revise your drawing and/or list of steps as needed.

What do you think?
1. Why are circles so important to these constructions?
2. Why did Euclid use circles to create his equilateral triangles in Proposition 1?
3. How does constructing a circle ensure that all relevant segments will be of equal length?
