1 Lesson Plan #40 Class: Geometry Topic: Rhombus Date: Friday December 2nd, 2011 Aim: What are some properties of rhombi? Objectives: 1) Students will know the properties of a rhombus 2) Students will be able to use the properties of rectangles 3) Students will be able to prove that a quadrilateral is a rhombus HW #40: Do Now: 1) Identify the figure at right. 2) What is the definition of the figure at right? As a result, it has all the properties of a parallelogram such as Opposite sides parallel Opposite sides congruent A diagonal divides it into two congruent triangles Opposite angles are congruent Consecutive angles are supplementary The diagonals bisect each other. What 3 other properties do you notice in this figure? 1. 2. 3. PROCEDURE: Write the Aim and Do Now Get students working! Take attendance Give Back HW Collect HW Go over the Do Now Properties of a Rhombus: 1) A rhombus has all the properties of a parallelogram 2) A rhombus is equilateral 3) The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other 4) The diagonals of a rhombus bisect its angles. Methods to prove a quadrilateral is a rhombus: 1) The quadrilateral is a parallelogram with two congruent consecutive sides. 2) The quadrilateral is equilateral. 3) The quadrilateral is a parallelogram whose diagonals are perpendicular to each other. 4) The quadrilateral is a parallelogram, and a diagonal bisects the angles whose vertices it joins. 2 Examples: Online Interactive Activity : Let’s go to http://www.mathopenref.com/rhombus.html and see how we can make different rhombi, but they all still have the properties of a rhombus. Online Interactive Activity : Let’s go the math warehouse and practice using the properties of a rhombus http://www.mathwarehouse.com/geometry/quadrilaterals/parallelograms/rhombus.php On Your Own: 3 Sample Test Questions:
