LESSON ELEMENT: Tests for Quadrilaterals / STUDENT-FRIENDLY TRANSLATION
Common Core Learning Standards Addressed:
G-CO.11.0 (Prove theorems about parallelograms. Theorems include: opposite sides are congruent, opposite angles are congruent, the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, and conversely, rectangles are parallelograms with congruent diagonals.)
G-GPE.04; G-GPE.05
Learning Goals and Objectives: (What will students know & be able to do as a result of this lesson?)
the student will be able to solve for missing sides and angles of a quadrilateral algebraically and using coordinate systems.
The student will be able to set up and solve constructed response problems in quadrilaterals. / I can solve algebraic and coordinate quadrilateral problems.
Vocabulary Support: (What vocabulary will student need for this lesson?) concave polygon, convex polygon, vertex (vertices), diagonal, regular polygon, interior angle, exterior angle, quadrilateral, parallel, perpendicular, congruent, parallelogram, rectangle, rhombus, square, trapezoid, right trapezoid, and isosceles trapezoid. / I understand the vocabulary of quadrilaterals.
Formative Assessment Criteria for Success: (What does success on this lesson’s outcomes look like?)
The student will be able to find the missing angles and sides of a given parallelogram using algebraic techniques.
The student will complete the assignment with a rubric of 7 or higher.
All notes and diagrams will be complete in their data folder. / I will find missing angles and sides of parallelogram problems.
Activities/Tasks: (What learning experiences will students engage in?)
Focus activity: Name one thing you know about data mining! (crime prediction)
