Quadrilateral Properties

This unit kicks off with you turning in your project of quadrilateral conjectures.  Since you have already been thinking about quadrilaterals for a week - thinking about their properties - proving properties is only a step away. (Again, all dates are for A-Block. F-Block dates are a day later after Tuesday.)

Note that we will be using the books in class but most of the homework in this unit is worksheets of problems.  Please make sure to bring them with you since they contain notes on the material.

1/29  Definitions in general, quadrilateral definitions in particular (turn in Quad Conjecture Project)
         HW prove the properties of isosceles trapezoids and kites
1/30  CW p.512-513/1-8;  Prove the properties of parallelograms
         HW prove the properties of rectangles, rhombuses and squares
1/31  CW p.522/2-13;  Converses - how can I prove I have a special quadrilateral?

The rubric (you may still email me or ask questions in class if you are not sure what I am looking for)

Writing Proofs

We will be working through 6C - writing proofs.  Make sure you keep up with the homework because the practice is very important.  Please remember that F-Block doesn't meet on Tuesdays so all assignments are one day later.
