Another Way to the Circumcenter

In teams of 3-4 members, Geometry Honors students will receive a problem on finding the circumcenter of a triangle and its algebraic solution. The solution involves a concept and theorem covered prior to this, but for which a graphical solution has not been covered. Students will need to synthesize the information from Algebra 1 and this class to understand why the solution works. From there, students will produce two of the following: an algebraic solution, a physical solution, a solution involving code in Python, a different problem using the same algebraic procedure, or a problem where this solution wouldn't make sense. Each team will produce a Google document with their problem(s) and/or solution(s). After all teams complete work on their document, the class will review another group's document to review the work of others and to reinforce their own knowledge.
