This lesson develops the concept of naming and classifying quadrilaterals according to their properties. Students identify the minimal information required to define a quadrilateral. They sketch quadrilaterals with given conditions.

During the first part of the lesson students choose from the words ‘all’, ‘...

This lesson develops the concept of constructing triangles with given conditions. In particular students will:

• Recall and apply triangle properties
• Determine whether a set of given conditions for the measures of angle and/or sides of a triangle describe a unique triangle, more than one...
