Overview: Using the 5th grade prior knowledge of geometry, students will classify angles (acute, obtuse, and right).  Relationships between the angles of triangles and quadrilaterals will be used to find missing angle measures.  Points will be located in Quadrant I using rational numbers.  Students will also apply their knowledge of basic measurement to explore the relationships between radius, diameter, and the circumference of a circle.

Focus: Using 5th grade prior knowledge of classifying triangles and quadrilaterals, students will use the relationships between angles of these geometric figures to find missing angle measures.

TEKS: 6.1(A), 6.2(B), 6.2(D), 6.11(A)

Lessons:

• Monday: Identifying triangles by their sides and angles.  Assignment is pg. 449 (8-28, 37-42).  Powerpoint notes in spiral.  Also, since we are talking about finding the missing angle measure, show how a triangle’s angles sum to 180.
• Tuesday: Identifying/classifying quadrilaterals.  Assignment is PzD-39.  Notes handout and powerpoint presentation.
• Wednesday: Congruent and Similar Figures.  Assignment is R8-8.
• Thursday: Review over angles, triangles, and quadrilaterals.  Assignment is review packet.
• Friday: Test over angles, triangles, and quadrilaterals.  No assignment.

Overview: Students will use 5th grade prior knowledge to estimate and find exact measurements using appropriate tools. (angles, perimeter, area, volume, time, temperature)  Using their knowledge of ratios and proportions, measurement units will be converted within the customary and metric systems.

Focus: Students will find exact measurements of angles using appropriate tools.

TEKS: 6.8(C), 6.6(A), 6.12(A)

Lessons:

• Tuesday: Geometry Basics (points, lines, segments, etc.).  Assignment is R8-1.  Notes handout.
• Wednesday: Classifying and Measuring Angles.  Assignment is P8-2.  Notes handout and powerpoint notes in spiral.  Need protractors.
• Thursday: Extra angle practice.  Assignment is PzD-27 (front and back).  Show subtraction on every problem on the back.
• Friday: Complementary and Supplementary Angles.  Assignment is pg. 442 (8-19, 22-28, 40-45).  Do # 33-35 together.  Powerpoint notes in spiral.

Overview: Students will use 5th grade prior knowledge of experimental probability to find the theoretical probability of an independent event and its complement.  Data will be gathered and analyzed by using prior knowledge of basic operations to find the mean, median, mode and range of the data.  This data will also be organized through the use of graphs, charts, and tables.  Probability will be described using various forms, including fractions, decimals, and percents.

Focus: Students will use their prior knowledge of basic operations to find the mean, median, mode and range of a set of data.
