Lesson Plan: Parallelograms on the Coordinate Plane
This lesson plan includes the objectives and prerequisites of the lesson teaching students how to use the distance, slope, and midpoint formulas to determine whether a quadrilateral in the coordinate plane is a parallelogram.
Objectives
Students will be able to
- use the distance formula to determine whether a quadrilateral in the coordinate plane is a parallelogram,
- use the slope formula to determine whether a quadrilateral in the coordinate plane is a parallelogram,
- use the midpoint formula to determine whether a quadrilateral in the coordinate plane is a parallelogram,
- find the areas of parallelograms,
- find missing vertices of parallelograms.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- parallelograms.
