Students arrive at a crime scene and try to find the murderer by using their knowledge of geometry. They propose solutions to the mystery by analyzing the scene and available data. Students work in groups and convince each other which geometrical figures to construct to solve the problem. They need to construct figures, including editing angles and squares and halving lines. They also need to work out independently which editing style to use from the prompts and their own analysis, and to reflect on the implications of their calculations to propose potential solutions to the mystery. 

•  Discover the possible uses of geometric knowledge

• Develop accurate and appropriate use of geometric construction and editing methods

This unit has a creativity and critical thinking focus:

• Make connections between maths concepts and the ability to solve real-life problems

• Generate and play with ideas for how to solve a problem

• Check accuracy and gaps in knowledge, reflect on, and evaluate alternative theories and perspectives
