About This Lesson
This animated PowerPoint slideshow takes students from a relatively simple geometry math problem through extensions and generalizations which aim to deepen understanding, increase pattern awareness, and apply algebra skills. It is intended to be interactive. I usually print copies of the table for individuals to fill in (and be able to move ahead at their own pace) as we're working.
