Middle School Mathematics, Stafford, December 17 - 21
Geometry:
The students will be assessed of their knowledge and understanding of Polygons, primarily quadrilaterals. Concepts include interior and exterior angles of polygons, properties of kites, trapezoids, parallelograms, rhombuses, rectangles and squares. Additional concepts include consecutive angles and mid-segments of these two dimensional polygons.

Geometry:
We begin the week reviewing our chapter 5 test: Triangle Properties where the students began writing proofs. Our math journey continues in chapter 6 with the study of Polygon Properties. We seek to discover the sum of the angle measures in a polygon and the sum of the measures of a set of exterior angles of a polygon.

Geometry
This week in Geometry we will finish the study unit on triangle properties. We are studying the sum of the measure of interior and exterior angles of triangles, inequalities relationships among the sides and angles of triangles, and triangle congruence relationships. Additionally we study flow chart proofs to verify our triangle property conjectures.

I look forward to seeing everyone during conferences.
This week in Geometry we continue chapter three, where the focus is teaching and using to tools of geometry: a compass and a straight edge. We will learn to construct parallel lines and construct various geometric figures to reinforce our learning and understanding up to this point in the curriculum.
