Today is the first day of the second trimester of the school year. (One down, two to go!) Students received weekly grade slips and were encouraged to begin the term off on a positive note by asking a parent to sign the slip tonight. Reflections and goal sheets were collected at the beginning of class.
A parallelogram is a special kind of quadrilateral. It has two pairs of parallel sides. Students worked in pairs to determine the perimeter of three different types of parallelograms. After we agreed that we could find these with relative ease, we went on to finding the area of the different figures. We determined that the best way to determine the area of a parallelogram is to reconfigure the parallelogram into a rectangle.
