Quote: We must exhange the philosophy of excuse-what I am is beyond my control-to the philosophy of responsibility.- Barbara Charlie Jordan

Goal: Identify similar and congruent figures.

Comparing figures

Two figures are congruent if they have the same size and shape. Two figures are similar if they have the same shape but not necessarily the same size.

Corresponding parts

When two figures are similar, their corresponding angles have the same measure. When two figures are congruent, their corresponding parts have the same measure.
Corresponding parts are the matching sides and angles of two figures.

Quote: One half of knowing what you want is knowing what you must give up before you get it. - Sidney Howard.

Goal: Assess what students know about polygons.

Today students worked with an individual evaluation regarding polygons.

See you tomorrow in the Field Day! Remember blue team rules!!!!

Quote: Be beautiful if you can, wise if you want to, but be respected-that is essential.-Anna Gold

Goal: Classifying polygons.

A polygon is a closed plane figure formed by three or more line segments meeting onlyy at their enpoints.

A regular polygon is a polygon with all sides congruent and all angles congruent.

Classifying polygons:

Triangle: 3 sides
Quadrilateral: 4 sides
Pentagon: 5 sides
Hexagon: 6 sides
Heptagon: 7 sides
Octagon: 8 sides
Nonagon: 9 sides

A diagonal is a segment tha joins two vertices of a polygon but is not a side.

6th A and 6th B

Goal: Classify triangles by their sides and by their measures.

A triangle is a polygon with three angles and three sides.

Triangles can be classified according to their lengths of their sides:

• Scalene triangles: all sides have different lengths.
• Equilateral triangles: all sides have the same lengths.
• Isosceles triangles: two sides have the same lengths.

Triangles can be classified according to their angles:

• Acute triangles: all angles are acute; that is, less than 90.
• Right triangles: one angle is right; that is, 90.
• Obtuse triangles: one angle is obtuse; that is more than 90.

Angles in a triangle: the interior angles add up to 180.

a + b + c = 180

Quote: Civilization is a way of living, an attitude of equal respect for all people.- Jane Addams

Goal: Classify polygons and quadrilaterals.

Students will work with Challenge 10.2 in small groups.
We discussed answers and corrected the exercises on the board.

Goal: Find the areas of parallelograms and trapezoids.

Area of a parallelogram : the area of a parallelogram is the product of the base b and the height h.
A=bh

Area of a trapezoid:the area of a trapezoid is one half of the product of the su sum of the bases and the height.
A=1/2(b1 + b2)h

Practice the skill; p.522(1-3)

Homework: p.524(11-16)

6th B

Quote: Civilization is a way of living, an attitude of equal respect for all people.- Jane Addams

Goal: Classify angles and find angle measures.

Activate Prior Knowledge:
Tell whether the statement is true or false:

1. A right angle is the one that measures 180.
2. An acute angle measures exactly 65
3. An obtuse angle is the one that measures more than 90 and less than 180.
4. A straight angle is the one that measures exactly 90.

Goal: Determine the measure of angles whose vertics are at the center of the circle.

New knowledge:

Circles

The center is the point that is the same distance from all points on the circle.
A radius is any segmnet that has one endpoint at the center of the circle and the other endpoint on the circle.
A chord is any segment with both endpoints on the circle.
A diameter is any chord through the center or the length of that segment.
A central angle is any angle with its vertex at eh center of the circle and sides that intersect the circle.

Apply: p.399 (1-11) question 12. Define: a) Supplementary angles b) Vertical angles

Homework: Study the material given in class today for a quiz tomorrow.
