All About Triangles

We have been learning quite a bit of information regarding triangles over the last few weeks. The challenge for this blog post is to see who can identify the most properties of triangles.

I have come up with 16 properties of triangles. How many of you can beat me?????

Good Luck and Have fun!!

All About Quadrilaterals

How many properties can you identify in regards to quadrilaterals? Use your vocabulary to help you.....diagonals, triangulating, congruent, parallel, intersecting, angles, adjacent, supplementary, opposite, sides, perpendicular, etc....

I have come up with only 15 properties of quadrilaterals.....How many of you can beat me?

Conjectures about Diagonals of Quadrilaterals

We've been studying properties of diagonals in various quadrilaterals (squares, rectangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, rhombuses, and kites).

What would you say is the connection in regards to the sides and angles of the quadrilaterals in relation to it's diagonal properties? (perpendicular or intersecting; congruent or non-congruent)

Draw, think, conjecture & justify!!!
