UNIT PROJECT

Days 123 ~ December 3 – December 22

Days 456 ~ November 20 – December 17

This is a project that can be done alone or with a partner up to 3 people in a group, that is designed to be done IN SCHOOL. Only if students fall behind does it need to be done at home. Even if the project needs work at home, students will not need to meet in their groups. Each student will be responsible for a particular part of the project, this will be discussed in class. Below is the time line of work to be done in class and also the requirements for the project.

You may also include a trapezoid, rhombus, heptagon, nonagon or decagon for EXTRA CREDIT.

REQUIREMENTS: You must demonstrate and explain the following:

A. The relationships among the shapes listed above.

For each of the groups listed above, you must include the number of sides and angles as well as the angle sum for each group.

B. All the FACTS you know about the relationships among the SIDES and ANGLES of the polygons listed above.

For each of the nine required shapes you should discuss the relationship of sides that are parallel, sides that are congruent, angles that are congruent and give the angle measure of any shape that remains the same.

Use the rubric on the back as a check off list to make sure you have included all of the necessary relationships.

Remember this is your chance to be CREATIVE, HAVE FUN and SHOW ME WHAT YOU KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
