This first half of this new unit will focus on Classifying Polygons. By the end of this unit, students will be expected to know the basic polygons: triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon, hexagon, octagon, and decagon. They need to be able to classify triangles according to their sides (scalene, isosceles, equilateral) and angles (acute, right, obtuse). They also need to be able to classify quadrilaterals based on their properties, including identifying a quadrilateral as a trapezoid, parallelogram, rhombus, rectangle, and/or square. Finally, students need to be able to identify and calculate the radius and diameter of a circle, as well as tell the relationship between them.
The students already have reference sheets, explanations, and examples in their notebooks.
Included in this unit is some time to work with the appropriate tools for constructing these figures. Students will use protractors and compasses to create specific shapes. They will not be tested on their ability to use these tools, but they may use the tools to help them on the test.
I expect the test to be October 12th.
