Day 11 – Starting Constructions

I spent some time researching different ideas for a lesson and did not find anything that I liked.  After the day, I did not like mine either.  My lesson was to get the students to copy a line segment and an angle.  After a period of effort, the honors students got to the line segment.  I left the entire lesson as discovery.  I just expected too much.  I really do not like giving too much and realize that today is one of those days that I gave too little, or the wrong way.  Fortunately, I have a second chance tomorrow with other students that are not honors to improve.  It is frustrating teaching a course for the first time.
