Unit 8, Lesson 10
Maneras de encontrar medidas de ángulos (Optional)

Lesson Narrative
Previously, students analyzed the attributes of two-dimensional figures and used them to find side lengths and perimeters. In this lesson, students use the attributes of figures to find unknown angle measurements and to practice drawing line-symmetric figures. Both activities in the lesson deepen students’ understanding of line symmetry. The activities also allow students to apply knowledge of angles from an earlier unit and integrate it with newer ideas from this unit. Because the work here is not required by the standards, this lesson is optional.

Teacher Reflection Questions
Today’s lesson presented many opportunities for divergent reasoning strategies. Think about which students haven’t shared their strategies in class lately. Were there missed opportunities to highlight their thinking during recent lessons? How can you take advantage of those opportunities when they arise?
