	Develop problem situations with geometric models & apply properties of figures.	- Facilitate students as they construct kites, after learning properties. - Have students discover geometric theorems.	- Build kites using straws, string, paper, and glue. - Use the Geometric Sketchpad computer program.	Fly kites. Does the kite fly high, or crash and burn??	Explore geometric volume of 3-D kite.	- Fractals in the Middle, kite section - Hathaway. - Computer program in lab.

	Demonstrate understanding of axiomatic systems through investigations and comparing various geometry's.	- Discuss the other 'geometries'. - Cut a Mobius Strip with a 1/2 twist, full twist, etc. - No Place Like Home.	- Discuss Lobachevskian and Riemannian geometry. - Make a Mobius Strip. - Zounds!, pp. 102-103.	Students submit to their groups explanations of the Mobius Strip.	- Write a report on Bolyai, Lobachevsky, etc. - Make and cut different Mobius Strips.	Use any work on Mobius Strips.

	Apply, use trigonometric ratios in problem situations involving right triangles.	- Facilitate students as they use the various trig methods. - Define the angle of elevation and angle of depression.	-Use trig methods and equipment (calculator, angle measurement device) to measure the height of two different sighted objects which cannot be measured directly. -Do various problems involving angle of elevation and depression.		Geometry project DGT, p. 219.	Graphing calculator, angle measurement device (some type of sighting instrument).
