Instructional Ideas
- Use this resource as an extension investigation
Classroom Considerations
- The 36 installments are designed to be used in order with each lesson building on the previous ones
- Class members should be proficient in constructing equilateral triangles
- The constructions in the resource are considerably more difficult than in the previous lesson
