Math 6 (Class 99)
Lesson Title
Investigation 2: Building Polygons
Overview
At this point students have begun to conjecture rules for what is required of the lengths of 4 segments in order for it to be possible to make a quadrilateral from these segments. In today’s class we will share and tests these conjectures.
