Students will understand statements about polygons can be used to solve problems.

=Introduction= (Set the stage, give us any background info that we might need to know (but just a hint), this is your HOOK. Provide a segue to the Task . . . make your reader want to click to the next section. There should be nothing that sounds like school work in this section. Don't give away what's going to happen in the Task.)

How often can math be used in the U.S. Court system? There have been five criminals that have stories dealing with geometric figures. You will be able to use the formulas you know to prove that the criminals are guilty.

=Task= (Tell the story of the Role, Audience, Setting, and Presentation. Be a story teller. Save any classroom-specific information for the Process. Build the scenario and stay in character. You can reference the Introduction but try not to duplicate the information that's in the Introduction.)

You are a lawyer and your job is to look into these criminals stories and find out where their story does not match up. Using the formulas you know, you will convince the jury that the stories are lies and that the criminals should be put in jail.

Conclusion (Tie everything the participants have done back to the Goal. Why did they go through all of this? Tie the scenario to the real world. Remind them of the "Big Idea" that they were supposed to gain from this, just in case they didn't make the connection on their own. Don't get preachy. If you ask a question here, it has to be rhetorical. No work or assignments should be included. Short is good.)

Now get out there and put these wrong-doers where they belong. Find out what information does not add up so theat there will be five less criminals on our streets.
