Day 2Name : <strong>Mary</strong> <strong>Koerber</strong>Mathematical Concepts Addressed : Proof that parallelograms exist <strong>and</strong> the area of a____rhombus________________________________________________________________Grade Level : Grade 9Textbook : <strong>Geometry</strong> – Tools for Chang<strong>in</strong>g a World _____________________________This lesson follows the lesson on the areas of triangles , squares, <strong>and</strong> rectangles. Thislesson <strong>in</strong>troduces the students to the proof that parallelograms exist <strong>in</strong> geometry. We alsoproof that rhombus’ have an area that we can calculate. From the open<strong>in</strong>g activity proofwe can see that a rhombus is a parallelogram <strong>and</strong> we can f<strong>in</strong>d its area.Objectives:• To show students an <strong>in</strong>troduction to proof.• To show the students the proof that a rhombus exists <strong>and</strong> to calculate its area.• To show students the formula to calculate the area of a trapezoid.• To see the angular measurements of a rhombus <strong>and</strong> how we use them to obta<strong>in</strong> thearea equation.Prerequisites:• Students should know logical steps of proof.• Students should know what a parallelogram is.• Students should have a firm grasp on algebra <strong>and</strong> angles.Materials <strong>and</strong> Facilities:• A classroom with desks, overhead projector, <strong>and</strong> chalkboard are needed.• Students will be receiv<strong>in</strong>g a h<strong>and</strong>out for developmental <strong>and</strong> clos<strong>in</strong>g activities.Koeber – Page 10


Performance St<strong>and</strong>ards:The NYS Learn<strong>in</strong>g St<strong>and</strong>ards for mathematics that are addressed <strong>in</strong> this topic isMathematical Reason<strong>in</strong>g. This is used because we prove that a parallelogram exists <strong>and</strong>then we use this conjecture to show the equation of a rhombus.The NCTM Pr<strong>in</strong>ciples <strong>and</strong> St<strong>and</strong>ards for School Mathematics states that students mustestablish the validity of geometric conjectures us<strong>in</strong>g deduction, prove theorems, <strong>and</strong>critique arguments made by others. In this lesson we prove the geometric figure of aparallelogram <strong>and</strong> make conjectures to make the equation of a rhombus.Open<strong>in</strong>g Activity:In the open<strong>in</strong>g activity the students will be guided through the proof that a parallelogramexists with the teacher. We are given that segment AC <strong>and</strong> segment BD bisect each othera E (view teacher’s notes). Then there are several other conjectures that we can say,such as angle AEB is congruent to angle CED, because vertical angles are congruent.By the same reason<strong>in</strong>g, we can say that angle BEC is congruent to angle DEA. We canalso see that segment AE is congruent to segment CE, because of the def<strong>in</strong>ition of asegment bisector. From here we can say that triangle AEB is congruent to triangle CED<strong>and</strong> triangle BEC is congruent to triangle DEA; both by side- angle- side. Bycorrespond<strong>in</strong>g parts of congruent triangles are congruent, we have that angle BAE iscongruent to angle DCE <strong>and</strong> angle ECB is congruent to angle EAD. So if we havecongruent alterior angles then we have that segment AB is parallel to segment CD <strong>and</strong>segment BC is parallel to segment AD. After all of these steps we can f<strong>in</strong>ally say thatABCD is a parallelogram.Developmental Activity:In the beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g of the developmental activity we ask students several questions about acerta<strong>in</strong> rhombus. These questions exp<strong>and</strong> on what the students know about prooftechniques. The students will be required to know how to answer questions about sideangle side, correspond<strong>in</strong>g parts of congruent triangles are congruent, <strong>and</strong> anglemeasurement. In the second part of the developmental activity we use the proof thatsegment AC is perpendicular to segment BD to show that the area of a rhombus is equalto one-half the product of the diagonals. We are first given that ABCD is a rhombus,<strong>and</strong> by def<strong>in</strong>ition of a rhombus segment AB is congruent to segment AD. S<strong>in</strong>ce segmentAC is a diagonal of a rhombus it bisects angle BAD, <strong>and</strong> therefore angle BAE <strong>and</strong> DAEare congruent. By the Reflexsive Property of Congruence we have that segment AE iscongruent to segment AE; <strong>and</strong> by side – angle - side we see that triangle ABE iscongruent to triangle ADE. By correspond<strong>in</strong>g parts of congruent triangles are congruentwe get that angle AEB is congruent to angle AED; <strong>and</strong> because these angles are bothcongruent <strong>and</strong> supplementary , they are right angles. We can now f<strong>in</strong>ish that by thedef<strong>in</strong>ition of perpendicular we have that segment AC is perpendicular to segment BD.Once we have proven this we can now develop another proof that allows us to use aformula to calculate the area. The proof will be given as a homework assignment, so thatthe students can see where the formula comes from. It is essential that the teacher goesover the homework with the students so that anyone who gets the proof wrong knowswhere they went wrong.Clos<strong>in</strong>g Activity:In the clos<strong>in</strong>g activity we tell the students the formula to the area of a rhombus; <strong>and</strong> westate that a square is also a rhombus. Later <strong>in</strong> the homework the students will see whythe area is one-half the product of the diagonals. The teacher will also show the studentsthe formula to f<strong>in</strong>d the area of a trapezoid. The students will learn that <strong>in</strong> a trapezoid theparallel sides are the bases, <strong>and</strong> the non-parallel sides are the legs. Also, the height is theperpendicular distance between the <strong>two</strong> parallel bases.Koeber – Page 11

Day 3Name : <strong>Mary</strong> <strong>Koerber</strong>Mathematical Concepts Addressed : F<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g the area of polygons by us<strong>in</strong>g the areas ofpreviously known areas <strong>and</strong> measurement of the <strong>in</strong>terior angles <strong>in</strong> polygons._________Grade Level : Grade 9 ___________________________________________Textbook : <strong>Geometry</strong> – Tools for Chang<strong>in</strong>g a World _____________________________This lesson follows the lesson on prov<strong>in</strong>g that parallelograms exist <strong>and</strong> calculat<strong>in</strong>g thearea of a rhombus <strong>and</strong> a trapezoid. In the last lesson we saw that the area of a rhombus isone-half the product of the diagonals, <strong>and</strong> the area of a trapezoid is one-half the heighttimes the sum of the bases.Objectives:• To show students how to use different shapes to f<strong>in</strong>d the area of polygons.• To show the students what the total sum of the angles are <strong>in</strong> certa<strong>in</strong> polygons.Prerequisites:• Students should know what polygons are.• Students should know how to calculate area <strong>in</strong> polygons from previous lesson plans.• Students should have a firm grasp on algebra <strong>and</strong> angles.Materials <strong>and</strong> Facilities:• A classroom with desks, overhead projector, <strong>and</strong> chalkboard are needed.• Students will be receiv<strong>in</strong>g a h<strong>and</strong>out for developmental <strong>and</strong> clos<strong>in</strong>g activities.• Students need a ruler <strong>and</strong> will receive triangles, squares, rectangles, pentagons,hexagons, <strong>and</strong> octagons from the teacher.Performance St<strong>and</strong>ards:The NYS Learn<strong>in</strong>g St<strong>and</strong>ards for mathematics that are addressed <strong>in</strong> this topic isModel<strong>in</strong>g/ Multiple Representations to provide a means of present<strong>in</strong>g, <strong>in</strong>terpret<strong>in</strong>g,communicat<strong>in</strong>g, <strong>and</strong> connect<strong>in</strong>g mathematical <strong>in</strong>formation <strong>and</strong> relationships. Thisst<strong>and</strong>ard is used because we try to fit the areas of figures that we already know <strong>in</strong>tofigures that we don’t know to f<strong>in</strong>d their areas.The NCTM Pr<strong>in</strong>ciples <strong>and</strong> St<strong>and</strong>ards for School Mathematics states that students mustexplore relationships ( <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g congruence <strong>and</strong> similarity) amount classes of <strong>two</strong>- <strong>and</strong><strong>three</strong>- <strong>dimensional</strong> geometric objects, make <strong>and</strong> test conjectures about them, <strong>and</strong> solveKoeber – Page 14


problems us<strong>in</strong>g them. As stated before we correlate this to the lesson by take the areas offigures that we already know to f<strong>in</strong>d the areas of figures that we don’t know.Open<strong>in</strong>g Activity :For the open<strong>in</strong>g activity the students will break up <strong>in</strong>to groups of four <strong>and</strong> receivedifferent sized triangles, squares, rectangles, pentagons, hexagons, <strong>and</strong> octagons. Eachgroup will discuss how they can fit their shapes <strong>in</strong>to the polygon that is provided. Byus<strong>in</strong>g this technique the students can f<strong>in</strong>d the area of the unknown polygon from the areasof the known polygons.Developmental Activity:The developmental activity builds upon the open<strong>in</strong>g activity. Aga<strong>in</strong> we use this sameconcept of us<strong>in</strong>g the areas of previously known shapes to f<strong>in</strong>d the area of shapes that wedo not have a formula for. In this activity we first start by break<strong>in</strong>g a hexagon down <strong>in</strong>to<strong>three</strong> pieces. We have <strong>two</strong> of the same triangles <strong>and</strong> one rectangle. The base of thehexagon is 15 cm <strong>and</strong> the height is 25 cm. With a little measurement we f<strong>in</strong>d that theheight of the triangles is 5 cm. We now have enough <strong>in</strong>formation to f<strong>in</strong>d the area of the<strong>two</strong> triangles <strong>and</strong> the square. The area of one triangle is 62.5 cm, so the total area of bothtriangles 125 cm. The area of the rectangle is 375 cm, so the area of the hexagon is 125cm plus 375 cm, which is 500 cm 2 . We then move on to f<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g the area of an octagon.This is about the same procedure, except we will have <strong>two</strong> trapezoids <strong>and</strong> one rectangle.First have the students “cut up” the octagon <strong>in</strong>to the shapes stated above. When we breakup the octagon we will get the dimensions of 5 cm for the width of the rectangle <strong>and</strong> 10cm for the height. When we calculate the area we get 50 cm 2 . For the trapezoids we getthat the bases are 3 cm <strong>and</strong> 10 cm <strong>and</strong> the height is 2 cm. When we calculate the area ofone trapezoid we get 13 cm 2 , <strong>and</strong> for <strong>two</strong> we get 26 cm 2 . So the total area of the octagonis 76 cm 2 when we add the areas together. When we are done with this activity have thestudents work one other shapes <strong>and</strong> see if they can f<strong>in</strong>d the areas.Clos<strong>in</strong>g Activity:In the clos<strong>in</strong>g activity the teacher will have the students draw polygons that have4,5,6,7,<strong>and</strong> 8 sides on their papers. The teacher will then <strong>in</strong>struct the students to use aruler to make triangles with<strong>in</strong> each polygon by draw<strong>in</strong>g all the diagonals from one vertexto the middle of the polygon. This is an easy way to f<strong>in</strong>d the total <strong>in</strong>terior anglemeasurement with<strong>in</strong> multi-sided polygons. Have the students count up the number oftriangles with<strong>in</strong> the polygons <strong>and</strong> multiply that number by 180 degrees to get the total<strong>in</strong>terior angle measurement. By follow<strong>in</strong>g a pattern the students should see that thisworks for any type of polygon.Koeber – Page 15


Open<strong>in</strong>g Activity (day 3)Go over f<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g the area of a trapezoid.Example:24.3 cm8.5cmArea: 144.5 cm 29.7cmH<strong>and</strong> out different sized triangles, squares, rectangles, pentagons, hexagons, <strong>and</strong>octagons to each group. Have each group discuss how they can f<strong>in</strong>d the area of theseshapes without know<strong>in</strong>g a formula for these specific shapes.Students should come up with that the area can be found by add<strong>in</strong>g up the area of alreadyknown shapes that fit <strong>in</strong>side the new shape.Koeber – Page 16


Developmental Activity ( teachers notes)F<strong>in</strong>d the area of the polygon:5cm25cm15cm5cmFirst f<strong>in</strong>d the area of the triangles: (25 cm * 5 cm) / 2 = 62.5cm 2There is <strong>two</strong> of them so 2*62.5 cm =125cm 2Now f<strong>in</strong>d the area of the rectangle: 25 cm *15 cm = 375cm 2The total sum of the area of the hexagon is; 375 cm 2 +125 cm 2 = 500cm 2Have students <strong>in</strong> groups draw polygons with 4,5,6,7,<strong>and</strong> 8 sides.Divide each polygon <strong>in</strong>to triangles by draw<strong>in</strong>g all the diagonals from one vertexMultiply the number of triangles by 180 to f<strong>in</strong>d the sum of the measures of the <strong>in</strong>teriorangles of each polygon.Have students try to come up with the polygon <strong>in</strong>terior angle-sum Theorem by <strong>in</strong>ductivereason<strong>in</strong>g. H<strong>in</strong>t: tell them to look for a h<strong>in</strong>t <strong>in</strong> the pattern <strong>in</strong> their table.Koeber – Page 17
