During this mystery students will:
- Extend, and explain symbolic and
numeric patterns, by decoding clues
written in Egyptian hieroglyphs.
Identify angles as acute, right, or
obtuse.
- Indentify intersecting, parallel, and
perpendicular lines to gain access to
secret chambers of the pharaoh's
tomb.
- Demonstrate an understanding of the
relationships of angles formed by
intersecting lines.
- Demonstrate an understanding of the
relationships of angles fomed by a
transversal that intersects parallel
lines.
- Understand midpoint and slope
conjunctures when given their points
on a plane or by comparing lines to
other parralel or perendicular lines.
- Demonstrate an understanding of the
Pythagorean theorem by appling the
theorem to the solution of problems
that are needed to solve the mystery.
- Recognize two-dimensional
representations of three-dimensional
objects, e.g., nets, projections, and
perspective drawings to successfully
navigate through the online mystery.
- Apply inductive and deductive
reasoning to determine the relative
importance of clues collected during
the mystery.

1) Students specify locations and
describe spatial relationships by
using coordinate geometry to
examine geometric shapes and
lines.
2) Students analyze characteristics
and properties of 2-D and 3-D
geometric shapes and develop
mathematical arguments about
geometric relationships.
3) Students use visualization, spatial
reasoning and geometric modelling
to solve problems. |
