Quadrilaterals in the Coordinate Plane
Young scholars find the coordinates of the vertices of special quadrilaterals placed in the coordinate plane. They find the coordinates of missing vertices of squares and parallelograms.
Curated OER
Graphing
Students collect data to create different types of graphs-line, pie, and bar graphs. They use StarOffice 6.0 to create graphs.
Curated OER
Teaching and Learning Through Objects
Students identify and interpret the function, usefulness or utitlity, form, beauty or aesthetics, and meaning, context or story, of objects and how they learn new skills and make things that they learn traditionally, by observation and...
Curated OER
Application of Properties of Quadrilaterals in the Coordinate Plane
Students apply definitions and theorems to verify special quadrilaterals
using coordinate geometry. They apply the slope formula, the midpoint
formula, and the distance formula to justify that a given quadrilateral is a
parallelogram....
