Teacher Notes Unit 8 Lesson 4 Rhombi, Rectangles, and Squares

  • This lesson includes a warm-up, guided notes, in-class practice, and homework. Answer keys are included.
  • Two levels of guided notes are included. One version has more information filled in for the students. You are free to choose whichever is appropriate for your students.
  • The guided notes can be inserted into SMART board software or projected onto a whiteboard so that students can follow along.
  • The in-class practice includes material from properties of parallelograms as well as rhombi, rectangles, and squares. Mistakes happen! Please forgive me if you find a mistake or typo. Contact me at [email protected] and I will do my best to correct the error as soon as possible. ©2015 Mrs. E Teaches Math This is a lesson from Unit 8 - Polygons and Quadrilaterals in my Geometry curriculum.
