Topic: 4.7 Properties of parallel lines (regulars-corresponding angles honors-corresponding angles, alternate interior/exterior angles) 2.7 Classifying Quadrilaterals 4.11 Properties of special parallelogram


 * During the summer, Starr, Danika, Lakin, and Misha have decided that properties of quadrilaterals are not as important as other topics in geometry. Thus, we are spending 2 days on quadrilaterals, 2 days on parallel lines.

Lesson Plan

Worksheet

(Use this for Honors) (Use pizzaz worksheet p.124 pre-Algebra for Regulars)





[|Useful web applet for showing off various quadrilaterals]( http://www.mathopenref.com/quadrilateral). Each type of quadrilateral (rhombus, kite, trapezoid, etc) has a nice visual applet that you can play around with and change the vertices and sides. They can be useful for exploring properties. This website has a bunch of similar applets, some more interesting than others.

Assessment:

Review game: Sorry about posting this so late. This has a brief definition review at the beginning and then moves into questions. Some of them are a little funky but the students enjoyed the review. We played in my class with two teams. First person to get a question right gets to shoot two shots of a nerf ball into the trash can (I set up 1 point, 2 point, and 3 point distances). I made rules where a student wasn't allowed to answer two questions so that there was more involvement and I had students turn in their scratch work at the end of the period. Very fun review activity.
