Quadrilateral Dance! Multiple Intelligences

Quadrilateral Dance! Multiple Intelligences

Quadrilateral Dance (sung to: Father Abraham)

Quadrilateral has many shapes
Many shapes has quadrilateral
A square is one of them
Congruent sides
And 4 right angles too
Right arm

Quadrilateral has many shapes
Many shapes has quadrilateral
A parallelogram, opposite sides
Both sets are parallel
Right arm, left arm

Quadrilateral has many shapes
Many shapes has quadrilateral
Rectangle’s one of them
The corners square
4 right angles around
Right arm, left arm, right leg

Chorus:
Quadrilateral, We do the quadrilateral dance
Let’s do the Quadrilateral,
We do the quadrilateral dance

Quadrilateral has many shapes
Many shapes has quadrilateral

A trapezoid is one, 2 parallel
But the other 2 are not
Right arm, left arm, right leg, left leg

Quadrilateral has many shapes
Many shapes has quadrilateral
Rhombus could be a square
Or diamond too
Must have congruent sides
Right arm, left arm, right leg, left leg FOUR SIDES!
(chorus)

Angles Song (sung to: B-I-N-G-O)

There was an angle had a name
And Righty was his name-o
Square corner just like so

Square corner just like so
And Righty was his name-o

There was an angle had a name
And Acute was her name-o
Closed and cute just like so
Closed and cute just like so
Closed and cute just like so
And Acute was her name-o

There was an angle had a name
And Obtuse was his name-o
Open wide just like so
Open wide just like so
Open wide just like so
And Obtuse was his name-o

Hands on Equations Video (Lesson 5 by David & Geordan)

Great Job David & Geordan!

Measure of an Angle in a Regular Polygon Cheer!

Go Shama & Alaina! :0)

Super Job!

Script:

"Alaina, How do you find the measure of one angle in a regular polygon?

Watch and Listen closely.

The number of angles minus 2

Times 180 that's what you do

Divide it by the number of angles

is one angle measure in a regular polygon

The formula is (n-2) x 180 divided by n"

Class of Video singing the "Diagonal Macarena"!

Students wanted to join in the "diagonal macarena" dance!

Love it! Who says math isn't fun? :0)

Learn the diagonals formula by singing to the Macarena!

Great Job Parker & Chris!

Shape Poem by Shel Silverstein

A Square
A square was sitting quietly
Outside his rectangular shack
When a triangle came down - kerplunk! -
And struck him in the back
"I must go to the hospital,"
Cried the wounded square,
So a passing rolling circle
Picked him up and took him there.
