7th Grade Math: Today in math, students are working to improve geometry skills and they began working with area and perimeter of parallelograms and triangles. Today's activity involved constructing a parallelogram step by step, figuring the perimeter and area for each shape as the student builds the polygon. Students were also responsible to fill in a data table. The second part of the activity involved constructing two congruent triangles in order to form a parallelogram.
Homework: Finish the area and perimeter of parallelograms and triangles worksheet if they did not finish in class. Review Homework on finding perimeter and area of parallelograms and triangles is due Friday.
