T4
Invent a new polygon, graph it on the coordinate plane, and determine its perimeter and area
G1 & G3
Lesson 1
Knowledge Application
Due 10/13
Today you are inventing a brand new polygon. Here are the project requirements:
1. Made up of at least one (rectangle OR parallelogram OR trapezoid) and ONE triangle -- ONLY TWO SHAPES
2. Drawn on the coordinate plane
3. All vertices clearly visible and labeled with the correct ordered pair
4. Find the perimeter (Neatly write a formula, show steps, and circle answer)
5. Calculate the area: (Neatly write two or more formulas, show steps, and circle answer)
6. Name your shape
If you need to find the distance between points on a slanted line, use this search: "What is the distance between the points (a,b) and (c,d) rounded to the tenths place"
Lesson 2
Lesson 3
How did your shape turn out? Share your invention with your neighbor. Share what was easy and what was difficult about the project.
If you did not trace your shape (perimeter) with color, use some of my colored pencils to make sure your invention stands out. USE A RULER OR STRAIGHTEDGE to make the lines straight.
