Organization: Planning an Analysis of the Triangle

First, look at and share yesterday's homework.

Finish yesterday's presentation. [In 3 different classes I taught at CRLS, not once could I get all the way through the "brief intro" in one hour.]

Setting up our study of the triangle: We will make research notebooks to organize what we learn from the triangle. Notebooks is divided into 3 sections:

1.
Ways to generate the numbers of the triangle.
2.
Patterns we see in the triangle, arithmetic, geometric, and more.
3.
Information the triangle teaches.

I pre-wrote the Table of Contents for the students. (See Appendix.)
