We revised the standards for unit 4. Standard 4.1 will be identifying properties of polygons and classifying special quadrilaterals. Standard 4.2 will be using properties of special quadrilaterals to find side lengths and angle measures. Standard 4.3 will be applying properties of special quadrilaterals to coordinate geometry. Standards 4.1 & 4.2 will be assessed before Thanksgiving break, and 4.3 will be assessed after.
We took a look at the attendance issue for RtI. We stressed assigning students for whom RtI will be beneficial. We also decided to change our grade replacement policy. The test grade will still be replaced completely if the student has all of their homework in. Now, the grade will be replaced with an average of their original grade and the retake if they do not have their homework in. We feel this will give them incentive to attend RtI and work hard.
We took a look at the website: http://illuminations.nctm.org/. Their was a lesson on properties of quadrilaterals, with a starter of drawing perpendicular diagonals and describing the quadrilateral they form.
