    Uploaded by

    Manilyn Suarez
    1. This lesson plan aims to teach 10th grade students about the properties of parallelograms. 2. The key properties that will be explored are: opposite sides are congruent, opposite angles are congruent, consecutive angles are supplementary, and the diagonals bisect each other. 3. Students will learn these properties through exploration using Geometer's Sketchpad software, and will practice applying the properties to algebraic problems.

    Properties of a parallelogram Lesson Plan

    Properties of a parallelogram

    Topic: Properties of a parallelogram Grade Level: 10th

    AIM: What are the properties of a parallelogram?

    OBJECTIVES: By the end of the lesson, the students should be able to


    1. Define parallelogram.
    2. State the following properties of a parallelogram:
    a. opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent
    b. opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent
    c. consecutive angles of a parallelogram are supplementary
    d. the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other
    3. Prove that a diagonal divides a parallelogram into two congruent triangles.
    4. Apply the properties of a parallelogram in numerical and algebraic problems.

    PRIOR KNOWLEDGE:
     Knowledge of parallel lines and of the angles formed when two parallel lines are cut by
    a transversal.
     Past learned method of proving triangles congruent – ASA

    MATERIALS/EQUIPMENT:
    - Projector,
    - Transparencies,
    - laptop computer with Geometer’s Sketchpad (GSP) Software

    MOTIVATION: Picture will be presented as a power point slide.

    - The picture shows the tiling of a floor. What geometric


    figures were used to tile the floor?

    DEVELOPMENT:

    I. Homework Review
    Students will present and explain their work to the class using transparencies.

    II. Introduce unit – quadrilaterals


    1. Define quadrilateral
    2. Review the parts of a quadrilateral using a GSP presentation.
    - Consecutive/adjacent vertices
    - Consecutive/adjacent sides
    - Opposite sides
    - Consecutive angles
    - Opposite angles
    - Diagonal(s)

    III. Explore the properties of a parallelogram


    Use a GSP presentation to explore the properties of the parallelogram. Start by
    constructing a parallelogram and then measure the angles, the sides, and the diagonals. From
    observation of the presentation the class will learn the following properties of a
    parallelogram: opposite sides are congruent, opposite angles are congruent, consecutive
    angles are supplementary, diagonals bisect each other.
    [An example of the diagram that will be constructed is included at the end of the lesson plan.]

    Show, using GSP, how each diagonal divides the parallelogram into two triangles. Ask
    students to explain why those triangles are congruent.

    Pivotal Questions
    - Why are consecutive angles of a parallelogram supplementary?
    - Why are the triangles formed by each diagonal congruent?

    IV. Example Problems – Applying the properties of a parallelogram to algebraic problems.

    1. The degree measures of two opposite angles of a parallelogram are represented by


    3x + 40 and x + 70. a. Find the value of x.
    b. Find the degree measure of one of the angles.
    2. In parallelogram ABCD, the degree measure of angle A is A D
    represented by 2x and the degree measure of B represented by
    2x + 60. Find the degree measure of angle A and the C
    B
    degree measure of angle B. Ex. 2 & 3
    3. In parallelogram ABCD, AB = 4x + 20 and CD = 6x – 10. Find AB and CD.
    4. If DE = 4y + 1 and EB = 5y – 1, find DB. D C
    E

    A B
    Ex. 4–6

    V. Practice problems – Applying the properties of a parallelogram to algebraic problems.

    1. If mDAB = 4y - 60 and mDCB = 30 - y, find the degree measures of the angles of the parallelogram.
    2. If AB = 4x + y, BC = y + 4, CD = 3x + 6, DA = 2x + y, find the lengths of the sides of
    the parallelogram.
