This lesson began a new unit on volumes of solids. The lesson motivates volume as a natural step from one-dimensional lengths and two-dimensional area to three-dimensional measurement.

This lesson follows a week spent learning polynomial division. From the Remainder Theorem, we learn how to identify roots of a polynomial using synthetic substitution and a list of possible rational roots.

This lesson was delivered to Honors Geometry during the unit on polygons. The lesson introduces students to trapezoids and the properties of their sides, diagonals, and midsegments. The descriptions are supported with many examples for students to try independently, with partners, and as a class.

This lesson was delivered to Honors Algebra II during the unit on polynomial division. The lesson presents synthetic division as an efficient alternative to long division. The two methods are compared side-by-side to reveal why synthetic division works. This is followed by many examples with a range of features.
