Geometry – Day 59 – Review & Regular Polygon Area By Dan Meyer • February 26, 2007 • 9 Comments Why We’re Here: We’re going to review area. We’re going to determine the area of regular polygons. (more…)
Geometry – Day 58 – Area II & Area Applications By Dan Meyer • February 20, 2007 • 4 Comments Why We’re Here: We’re going to learn/review the area of trapezoids and kites. More to the point, we’re going to get started with applications of area. We’re also going to assess (14) Translations. (more…)
Geometry – Day 57 – Tessellation Project Cont’d & Area I By Dan Meyer • February 20, 2007 • 7 Comments Why We’re Here: We’ll make our own tessellations from a hexagonal base. We’ll review the methods for finding area of rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles. (more…)
Geometry – Day 56 – Tessellation Project By Dan Meyer • February 20, 2007 • 1 Comment Why We’re Here: We’ll make our own tessellations from a square base. Materials: Scissors Index cards, pre-printed with a square and a hexagon. Tesselations Project sheet (more…)
Geometry – Day 55 – Translation & Tessellation By Dan Meyer • February 20, 2007 • 6 Comments Why We’re Here: We’ll apply and derive translations from figures in the plane. We’ll discuss tessellations, which regular polygons tessellate, which don’t. We’ll get our hands dirty with triangles & quadrilaterals, devising a method for tessellating both of those. (more…)
