4/10-4/14

Monday:

Today in class we learned about area and perimeter of parallelograms.

• We experimented with the base and height of parallelograms
• We briefly discussed how we would solve for the perimeter of a parallelogram
• We derived the formula for the area of a parallelogram

Homework:

• Last 4 questions on Schoology: Investigation 4.2
• IXL Sections F.F.3 & F.F4, Due Friday

Tuesday:

Today in class we continued to explore the area and perimeter of parallelograms

• We went through and worked on examples of solving for the area and the perimeter of a parallelogram
• We worked with partners and with the whole class.

Homework:

• Worksheet (or last 2 pages on the Schoology assignment for today)
  • Work on Problems #3-19
• IXL Sections F.F.3 & F.F4, Due Friday

Wednesday:

Today in class we explored and learned about the area and perimeters of triangles.

• We learned about the base and height of triangles
• We reviewed how to classify triangles by their sides (right, isosceles, and scalene)
• We created a "triangle family" based on triangles with a base of 6 cm and a height of 4 cm.
• We derived the formula for the area of a triangle: B * h/ , OR B*h*1/2, OR (B*h)/2

Homework:

• Worksheet (#18-22) (also available on Schoology, the last image)
• IXL F.F.3 Due Friday

Thursday:

Today we continued to explore the area and perimeter of triangles.

• We reviewed the formulas (methods for solving area and perimeter problems for triangles)
  • A=Bh/2 or A=1/2Bh
  • Perimeter: add up the lengths of the 3 sides together
• We did a matching problem with the areas of triangles in small groups

Homework:

• Worksheet (or last 2 pages on Schoology assignment for today)
  • Work on Problems #3-20
  • IXL Section F.F.3 Due tomorrow (F.F.4 Due Next week)
