If you do not have a coputer at home, please visit your nearest Public Library. You may write your answers in your Jefferson Agenda Book also.
No more excuses for missed homework!
STANDARD: 6M6 Identify, measure, describe, classify, and construct various angles, triangles, and quadrilaterals; measure the interior angles of various polygons.
WARM-UP (BCR) Draw a triangle with a 3-inch base. Draw a triangle with a 3-centimeter base nest to it. Identify triangles and quadrilaterals.
ESSENTIAL QUESTION: What are the different triangles and quadrilaterals?
PRODUCT:
Definition and cut-outs of the different triangles and quadrilaterals. Connected Mathematics, Prentice Hall: Investigation 5 Measuring Triangles pp 46-55g
WHOLE GROUP DISCUSSION:
- Discuss geometry vocabulary to the students: http://jc-schools.net/PPT/GeoVocabulary.ppt#1
- Discuss different triangles to the students:
Triangle Classification
Triangle Types
World of Triangles
SMALL GROUP INSTRUCTION:
After showing the models of the different triangles and quadrilaterals, ask them to form groups of 3 members. Give them construction papers, scissors and markers. Ask them to cut out different triangles and quadrilaterals that they saw and write the description of on each shape.

11.12.2008 WEDNESDAY
STANDARD: 6M6 Identify, measure, describe, classify, and construct various angles, triangles, and quadrilaterals; measure the interior angles of various polygons.
WARM-UP (BCR): Create a pattern using octagons, pentagons, hexagons, and the colors red and green. Use at least 15 shapes in your pattern. Use the manipulative to trace your polygons.
Explain your pattern. Sort shapes into polygons vs. non-polygons.
ESSENTIAL QUESTION: Can you make a distinction between polygons and non-polygons?
PRODUCT: Venn Diagram: comparing polygons and non-polygons
Connected Mathematics, Prentice Hall: Investigation 5 Measuring Triangles pp 46-55g
WHOLE GROUP INSTRUCTION:
Discuss and show pictures of geometry in real life situations: http://www.nebo.edu/misc/learning_resources/ppt/6-12/geometry.ppt
Discuss the types of polygons: http://www.cohs.com/teachers/docs/229_6.1%20Polygons.ppt
SMALL GROUP INSTRUCTION:
Break the class into groups of 3. Give each of them a Venn Diagram and ask them to compare and contrast polygons vs. non-polygons based from what they have learned during the discussion.

11.13.2008 THURSDAY
STANDARD: 6M6 Identify, measure, describe, classify, and construct various angles, triangles, and quadrilaterals; measure the interior angles of various polygons.
WARM-UP (BCR) Octagons are worth 8, pentagons are worth 5, quadrilaterals are worth 4, and triangles are worth 2. Make 2 different designs each equaling 70.
Classify polygons by their characteristics
ESSENTIAL QUESTION: How can you classify the polygons by their characteristics?
PRODUCT:
T-Chart: Classifying polygons according to number of sides and number of angles
Visual representations: drawings or cut-outs
Connected Mathematics, Prentice Hall: Investigation 5 Measuring Triangles pp 46-55g
WHOLE GROUP INSTRUCTION:
Discuss the different kinds of polygons http://classroom.jc-schools.net/ppt/basicpolygons_files/frame.htm
and their characteristics: http://www.muskingum.edu/~rdaquila/m120/m120cn8-2.ppt#3
SMALL GROUP INSTRUCTION:
Ask the students to create a T-Chart summarizing what they have learned from the discussion.
In one of the columns, ask them to make visual representations of the polygons they are classifying using cut-outs or drawings.

11.14.2008 FRIDAY
STANDARD: 6M6 Identify, measure, describe, classify, and construct various angles, triangles, and quadrilaterals; measure the interior angles of various polygons.
WARM-UP (BCR)
- Draw a triangle that is 4 inches wide at the base and 31/2 inches high. Draw a 1 ½ inch square inside the triangle.
- Construct a triangle by tracing a manipulative (30-60-90, 45-45-90, 60-60-60 triangles) and measure the angles using cut-outs (30’, 45’, 60’ and 90’ angles)
ESSENTIAL QUESTION:
What way can you design 30-60-90, 45-45-90, 60-60-60 triangles with 30’, 45’, 60’ and 90’ angles?
PRODUCT:
- Visual representations (cut-outs or drawings)
Connected Mathematics, Prentice Hall: Investigation 6 Measuring Triangles pp 55h-66g
WHOLE GROUP INSTRUCTION:
Discuss the classification of triangles according to angles and according to sides: http://www2.potsdam.edu/hutton54/tri_files/tri.ppt
SMALL GROUP INSTRUCTION:
After the discussion, group the students into 3 members each. Give them construction papers, scissors, and markers. Ask them to design design 30-60-90, 45-45-90, 60-60-60 triangles with 30’, 45’, 60’ and 90’ angles.
