A complete formative lesson with embedded slideshow, mini lecture screencasts, checks for understanding, practice items, mixed review, and reflection. I create these assignments to supplement each lesson of Pearson's Common Core Edition Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry courses. See also mathquest.net and twitter.com/mathquestEDU.

Solve It! Which vertices form a square? Select all that apply.
Problem 1 Got It? A parallelogram has angle measures of 20, 160, 20, and 160. Can it be a rhombus, a rectangle, or a square?
Problem 1 Got It? Explain your response on the previous item.
Problem 1 Got It? Reasoning: Suppose the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other. Can you conclude that it is a rhombus, a rectangle, or a square?
Problem 1 Got It? Explain your response on the previous item.

Problem 2 Got It?

Problem 3 Got It? Can you adapt the method in Problem 3 slightly to stake off a square play area? Explain.

Explain your response to the previous item.
Explain your response to the previous item.


Identify the special parallelograms that have each property.
Rhombuses
Rectangles
Squares
Diagonals are perpendicular
Diagonals are congruent
Diagonals are angle bisectors
Diagonals bisect each other
Diagonals are perpendicular bisectors of each other
Error Analysis: Your friend says, "A parallelogram with perpendicular diagonals is a rectangle." What is your friend's error? Explain.
Reasoning: Complete the following steps on the canvas.
1. Draw a circle and two of its diameters.
2. Connect the endpoints of the diameters to form a quadrilateral.
Reasoning: Which types of quadrilaterals are possible in the previous item? Select all that apply.
Review Lesson 6-4: Use the parallelograms in the diagrams above to match the measures with their angles.
(Tip: You may need to use the down arrow key to drag items to the lowest angle measures.)

Review Lesson 2-3: Write the two conditionals as a biconditional.
If a parallelogram is a rhombus, then its diagonals are perpendicular.
If the diagonals of a parallelogram are perpendicular, then the parallelogram is a rhombus.
