Family facing 6th Grade math unit focusing on area and surface area.
Students find the area of rectangles, triangles, parallelograms, and trapezoids by using formulas or by composing into rectangles or triangles.
Students find the area of parallelograms by using square units and the area formula.
This lesson will demonstrate how to use slope, midpoint, and distance formulas to determine from the coordinates of the vertices if a quadrilateral is a parallelogram in a coordinate plane. Students can check their understanding with an assessment. [12:13]
This lesson [7:43] will demonstrate how to use slope, midpoint, and distance formulas to determine from the coordinates of the vertices if a quadrilateral is a parallelogram in a coordinate plane. It is 3 of 6 in the series titled "Coordinate Geometry of Parallelograms."
Students watch a video and attempt practice problems on how to determine missing angles in a parallelogram.
