Exploring Quadrilaterals: A Lesson Plan on Shapes and Conjectures
Today’s lesson plan focuses on walking students through quadrilaterals, emphasizing their properties and relationships. Students will engage with partners in discussions about true statements concerning quadrilaterals and develop conjectures. The homework emphasizes understanding quadrilateral definitions and their implications in geometry. Cleaning up after activities will instill responsibility. The session includes collaborative learning, personal reflection, and problem-solving—paving the way for a deeper understanding of geometric figures.

Walking Parallelograms • Do #1-10. • Notes: • #3 is asking about angle measure. • #5: For square/rectangle angles, no variable is needed • #9-10: For our quadrilaterals, there are five true statements of the form “An X is a Y.”
Discussion • With your partner, read and discuss questionsA-C and E. • Write out possible conjectures resulting from those questions. • If you have time, read and discuss F as well.
Homework • 25+ minutes: • Write conjectures about QLs. Maybe prove some. • Think about question F: what are the advantages and disadvantages of the two definitions of trapezoid? • Asg#51, #52 • Khan Academy problems
Clean-up / Reminders • Pick up all trash / items. • Push in chairs (at front and back tables). • See you tomorrow!
