Feb+18-22


 * Geometry****: In this unit, each student will create a Keynote Presentation. The presentation with include the following:**
 * **An opening slide**
 * **8 polygon slides**
 * **5 quadrilateral slides**
 * **1 slide for finding the number of degrees in a polygon**
 * **1 slide explaining how to find missing angle measurements in triangles**
 * **1 slide for finding missing angle measurements in quadrilaterals**
 * **6 slides for identifying triangles by sides and angles**
 * **1 or more perimeter slide, 4 area slides**
 * **1 composite perimeter slide**
 * **1 composite area slide**
 * **for a total of 30 or more slides**


 * This will be an ongoing project while we are working within the Geometry unit.**
 * Monday, Feb 18 - No Class - Teacher Professional Day

Tuesday, Feb 19 and Wednesday, Feb 20 -** **Polygons

General Directions for students:** 1. Work independently and quietly. 2. Work quickly and stay on task so you can complete the assignment within the time period. 3. Be sure to site your sources. 4. If you do not finish, finish during study hall. This part MUST be done today! 5. Homework is due tomorrow. 1. Get a computer of your own. 2. Open KeyNote and create a Keynote called **Geometryby_.** (Your name should go in the blank.) 3. Create a title slide called **Geometry by**. (Your name should go in the blank.) (Slide #1) 4. Create a new slide. (Slide #2.) 5. Research the definition of "polygon." Using your research write your own definition of polygon on the 2nd slide. Sight your source. 6. Research the names and definitions of polygons with sides of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. Record the information on TGS-4:Polygons 7. Use the information you gathered on TGS-4:Polygons to create a slide for each of these polygons. Include on the slide the name, definition, and a picture. When using a picture, be sure to site the source on the slide. Site your sources where you got the information, also. (Slides #3 through #10) 8. Save your keynote to your documents folder. 9. Complete the homework called, "Why Do Ants Visit the Zoo on Cold Days?" and the KS Assessment problems on the back. 10. Be prepared for quiz on identifying polygons tomorrow.
 * Project Directions for students:**

** Thursday, Feb 21 - ** Quadrilaterals and Parallelograms

**General Directions for students:** 1. Work independently and quietly. 2. Work quickly and stay on task so you can complete the assignment within the time period. 3. Be sure to site your sources. 4. If you do not finish, finish during study hall. This part MUST be done today! 5. Homework is due tomorrow. **Project Directions for students:** 1. Take quiz on polygons and review KS Assessment. 2. As a class, watch and discuss United Streaming video on quadrilaterals. 3. Research definitions of parallelogram, rectangle, rhombus, square, and trapezoid. 4. Complete TGS-5: Quadrilaterals and Parallelograms Student Activity Sheet. 5. Using TGS-5, design Keynote slides for quadrilaterals. (Slides 11-15) 6. Homework: Can a Polar Bear Go On a Safari? (D-37) and Why Was Cinderella Kicked Off the Baseball Team? (D-38)

**Friday, Feb 22** **-** Sum of the angles of polygons **General Directions for students:** 1. Work independently and quietly. 2.

1. Watch United Streaming video on finding the sum of the angles of polygons. 2. Study and work through this [|website] and complete the hand-out to find the pattern for the sum of the angles of polygons. 3. Create a slide explaining the rule for finding the number of degrees in a polygon. (Slide #16) 4. On the slide include the rule, examples, pictures, etc.
