Ganges River Dolphins Do Geometry

Ganges river dolphins can only live in freshwater and are essentially blind. They hunt with ultrasonic sounds, which bounce off of fish and other prey. In order to find their prey, they must know geometry very well. Can you help them out?
 
Through in-class activities and independent practice, students will:
Enter radii with angle measurements and explore vertical angles
Use a Cartesian coordinate grid to locate points and measure distances between points
Create symmetrical shapes on a coordinate grid using a line of symmetry
Represent linear relationships by translating x-y tables to graphs and translating graphs to x-y tables
Locate points expressed as fractions and decimals to the tenths place by scaling the Cartesian coordinate plane
