What's Going On? December 11th through December 15th

Quadrilateral Detectives in Training

We will begin the week by working on a project: "Quadrilateral Detectives in Training".  For this project, students will partner up to graph four different quadrilaterals on a coordinate plane.  Of course, there are some rules for how the figures can be drawn.  For example, the figure cannot contain more than one horizontal or vertical line.  The students need to think about the properties associated with each type of quadrilateral we have studied during the unit in order to plot the points correctly.

Once this is complete, students will switch their projects with another pair.  Students will use their "detective skills" to determine the type of quadrilateral that has been plotted.  Students will use properties of geometry and algebra in order to support their findings.

After the project concludes, we will spend some time reviewing for our unit 6 summative assessment.  Details on the date of the summative and our Class Kick session will be announced during class on Tuesday.

Looking Ahead: Semester Exams

For those of you who like to plan ahead, here is our exam schedule for January.  We will talk about what our exam will look like when we get closer to this time.
