6. Describing and Measuring Angles
One attribute of a geometric figure is the size of its angles.
Angle are measured in term of degrees – an indication of an
amount of turning. An angle is the space formed between
two segment lines when they meet. The size of an angle is
measured in degrees. A full turn is considered 360 degrees.
A common benchmark for angle measure is a right angle,
which is a fourth of a full turn or 90 degrees.

Regular Polygons
A polygon is a plane (2D (two-dimensional)
shape with straight sides.
To be a regular polygon all the sides and
angles must be the same.
Square, triangle, pentagon, hexagon, etc.
Please do not get confused.

10. Classification of Triangles
Classification systems help people organize information about the world into categories.
There are two ways to classify triangles by their angles and by their sides.
Angles: triangles are right (one 90 degree angle, acute (all angles less than 90 degrees or obtuse
(one angle greater than 90˚
Right Equilateral Triangle
one angle Three equal sides
is 90˚ Three equal angles, always 60°
Acute all
angle are less than 90
obtuse
Scalene: no sides have the same length
No equal sides
No equal angles
Isosceles: at least two sides have
the same length

11. Shape Cards: (1 thru 12) Review
Separate the triangle cards (cards 1 through 12)
from your own sets of shape cards that you had
cut yesterday.
Work with a partner to find pairs of triangles that
have an attribute in common. (Angles or sizes)
Complete the activity by drawing two more
triangles that share that characteristics and one
that does not.

15. Guess My Rule
Steps
One person thinks of a rule and without telling anyone the
rule.
Places two of the Shape Cards that fit the rule on a sheet
of paper.
The person then picks one Shape Card that does not fit
the rule and place it off the paper.
The other players take turns choosing a new card that
they think either fits the rule or does not fit the rule.
Once you think you know what the rule is, you can say
that you want to tell the rule

16. Quadrilaterals: Math Focus Points 2/26-29/2016
Objective: Identifying attributes of polygons
Using attributes to describe and compare quadrilaterals including
parallelograms, rectangles, rhombuses and squares.
In the last session, you worked with triangle card. Today we are going
to do a similar activity working with quadrilateral cards.
In your Shape Cards set, find the quadrilaterals that are shapes 20 and
25. Both trapezoids.
How are they the same?
Talk to your neighbor for a minutes until you agree on something that is
the same about these quadrilaterals. (Take out Cards 13 to 27)
Now you are going to look at some other quadrilaterals to see whether
you can find other pairs that share something in common. As you
work, you will draw two more examples of quadrilateral that fit each
rule and one example of a quadrilateral that does not fit.

Write these Vocabulary words in your Math Log
Quadrilateral It is a polygon with 4 sides, 4 vertices and 4 angles.
Parallel Parallel lines go in the same direction. Like railroad
tracks
Trapezoid Trapezoid is a four-sided shape with one pair of
parallel lines.
Parallelogram Parallelogram is a four-sided shape with two pairs of
parallel sides
Rectangle Rectangle is a four-sided shape with four right angles, with two pairs of
parallel sides. The sides don't all have to be equal though. A square is a type of
rectangle, but a rectangle doesn't have to be a square.
Rhombus Rhombus is a four-sided shape where all sides are the same length, but the
angles are not the same.
Square Square is a four-sided shape with four right angles and four equal sides.

23. Some Figures Have Many Names Page 9
1. Draw a rectangle
Not all rectangles are squares.
Yes, all rectangles are parallelograms. They are
parallelograms because they have 2 pairs of parallel
sides.
7/5/2016 23
24. Is a square a rectangle?
Definition: A rectangle is a quadrilateral with all four angles right angles.
From this definition you can prove that the opposite sides are parallel
and of the same lengths. A rectangle can be tall and thin, short and
fat or all the sides can have the same length.
Definition: A square is a quadrilateral with all four angles, right angles
and all four sides of the same length.
So a square is a special kind of rectangle, it is one where all the sides
have the same length. Thus every square is a rectangle because it is a
quadrilateral with all four angles right angles. However not every
rectangle is a square, to be a square its sides must have the same
length. 7/5/2016 24
25. Page 10 Number 3. Quadrilaterals that have 2
pairs of parallel sides are called parallelograms
All of these quadrilaterals are parallelograms. Why? Because they have

30. Social Studies: Patrick Henry
The Early Years
Patrick Henry was born in 1736. His family was prosperous, but they were not among the wealthiest in
Virginia. Young Henry received a good education. He went to a local school until he was ten. Then his
father taught him at home. By the age of 15, he had finished his education. He did not go to college.
Though he was bright, Henry had several failures. First, he opened a store with his brother. It was closed
within a year. Next, Henry tried farming. A terrible fire put an end to that enterprise. Henry again tried
running a store—and again was unsuccessful.
Then, Henry decided to seek a career in the law. He studied on his own for six weeks. He barely passed
the exam for his law license. He began his law practice in 1760. At this, he was an immediate success. His
business grew with each year.
Henry worked hard at his new profession. He traveled widely in order to build his practice. He also proved
to be highly effective in court. His speaking style was compelling. He connected with his listeners. This
skill helped him to win judgments in court and followers among Virginians.
Henry’s popularity reached a high point after his work on the James Maury case. His victory helped him win
a seat in Virginia’s House of Burgesses. From this new position, he quickly built his reputation as a
powerful voice for the people.
7/5/2016 30
31. Continued Patrick Henry
Inspiring Words
Patrick Henry entered the House of Burgesses on May 20, 1765. Less than two weeks later, he gave one
of his fiery speeches. His words alarmed Loyalists but inspired the Patriot spirit throughout the
colonies. The topic of Henry’s speech was the Stamp Act. Recall that many colonists hated this law.
They believed it was taxation without representation.
For two days in May 1765, the House of Burgesses discussed the Stamp Act. Henry led the debate. He
wrote five resolutions [resolution: a statement that expresses the wishes or decisions of a group] ,
or statements, of his views. Henry’s resolutions challenged the power of the British government. They
declared that only Virginia could tax the people of the colony. Colonists, Henry argued, did not have to
obey the hated law.
Henry wanted the burgesses to agree with his ideas. He made a speech in hopes of winning their
support. As he spoke, Henry hinted at a daring threat. He listed the names of some rulers from
history—and the people who had killed them. King George III, Henry warned, should learn from these
examples.
Some members of the House of Burgesses were horrified. They cried out that Henry was guilty of
treason. But most members were won over by his speech. The House of Burgesses agreed to his
resolutions. Henry had been a burgess for just a few days. But he was already a leading figure.
7/5/2016 31
32. Patrick Henry continued
Word of Henry’s actions spread quickly. Newspapers printed his resolutions. Other
colonial governments passed their own, similar statements. Colonists took to the
streets to protest the Stamp Act. The spirit of independence was growing.
Henry’s Stamp Act speech and resolutions gained attention throughout the colonies.
His fame as a leading Patriot grew.
Henry was known for his skill as a speaker. He spoke with great feeling and
intensity. His speeches had a powerful impact on the emotions of his
listeners. One man compared Henry’s words to "the mountain torrent
[rushing stream] that swept away everything before it."
Henry did not follow the rules of debate that many other leaders of his day
did. He used simple terms. He relied on emotion rather than complex ideas
to make his points. Some people made fun of his plain style. But he was able
to communicate with all kinds of people. This included people with little
education. One of his friends noted that Henry "trampled upon rules [of
speech] and yet triumphed." 7/5/2016 32
33. Henry Patrick continued
Henry gave his most famous speech at St. John’s Church in
Richmond, Virginia, in March 1775. By this time, the colonies’
relationship with Great Britain had become very strained. Still, many
people did not want to go to war against the king and Great Britain.
Henry was ready to fight to win freedom. In a stirring performance,
he called on Virginia to get ready for war. His words are among the
best known in American history: "Gentlemen may cry, Peace,
Peace—but there is no peace.… I know not what course others may
take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
Henry’s speech was convincing. And again, news of his words
traveled far from Virginia. Soon colonists everywhere were repeating
his call for freedom. It would not be long before his cry for war
would be fulfilled in the colony of Massachusetts.
7/5/2016 33
34. It is from the famous speech that Patrick Henry
made in March 1775:
Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace—but there is no peace.
The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from (strong wind)
the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms!
Our brethren (brothers) are already in the field! Why stand we here
idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they
have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at
the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God!
I know not what course others may take; but as for me,
give me liberty or give me death!
Patrick Henry's words, "Give me liberty or give me death!" became a rallying cry, or call to action, for the
Patriots.
Assignment: Come up with one phrase or slogan that could be a rallying cry for the Patriots.
Make your words brief but inspiring.

Costume Designer—listed on Student Handout A.
Each student will be assigned a role for the activity. (Note: If there are five
students in a group, two students can be Investigative Reporters.)
Review Student Handout A so you will understand how your groups should
prepare for the panel debate.
Emphasize that each group’s key challenge is to accurately and dramatically
bring their historical figure to life. You will find helpful information in your
books about how each historical figure looked, dressed, and speaking ability.7/5/2016 38
39. S p e e c h Have students present key Patriot and Loyalist arguments in
the panel debate.
Begin the panel debate by having each Public Relations Agent
give a 30-second introduction of his or her historical figure.
Then follow these tips to moderate an engaging debate:
• Allow each Actor an opening comment on this question:
Should the American colonies declare independence from Great
Britain?
• Act the part of a well-known moderator or host, such as
Oprah Winfrey. Encourage questions and stir up controversy
among the panelists.
• Make sure questions are directed relatively evenly to all panel
members.
• When appropriate, allow panelists to respond directly to one
another.
• Encourage Public Relations Agents to discreetly help Actors
answer difficult questions.

44. Writing Period
Take extensive notes. While you are performing your
conducting research in a library, you’ll want to create a detailed
record of your findings. Take notes on a computer or using note
cards.
Include author, title, and publication information in your notes,
so that you can type up a reference list at the end of your
research paper.
Create a note sheet of quotations that you may want to use in
your research paper. It is better to gather more than you need
at this point, since you will need evidence from reputable
sources to support your thesis statement

48. Researchers
Researchers write and revise by…
…identifying sections that need more information
and conducting quick research to fill the gaps.
…assessing their work against a checklist of
expectations.
…thinking like historians and studying maps to
include specific details about places.
…pushing ourselves to grow ideas.
7/5/2016 48
49. Revising after discussion
Tonight at home, be sure to finish any research
necessary so that you are prepared to present
your research report on Friday. You will want to
make sure that you have developed each of your
subtopics so that they are somewhat equal in
length. You can think about that. You will also
want to be sure that you have packed each
subtopics with information to teach your readers
and that you have checked that this information is
accurate.

7/5/2016 50
51. Types of Resources
Discuss the various types of resources:
Books:
Be sure to check for more recent publication dates to insure up-to-date information.
Newspapers and Magazines:
Many libraries carry past editions of newspapers on microfilm and many newspapers offer searchable databases online. Your
librarian can also help you use indexes to magazine articles by topic in print and online.
People:
Personal interviews are often overlooked as a source of information, yet can sometimes yield some of the best material for your
report.
The Internet:
Learn proper methods for searching and choose a search engine that is reputable. Carefully evaluate any information found online.
Encyclopedias:
Print versions are sometimes dated. Look for CD versions or online versions of the printed counterparts- these are constantly
updated and thus contain current information.
Atlases, Almanacs, and Yearbooks:
Discuss the importance of evaluating resources and review the list of "self-questions" they should ask as they review a reource:
Is the information well-researched?
Is the author an expert on the subject?
Is the information relevant to my topic? Just because you find an amazing story or fact doesn't mean it needs to be included in your
paper. All information and sources must be related directly to your topic.
7/5/2016 51
52. Take Notes
Skim through your source before you start writing. As you read, you'll see that some information may not pertain
to the focus of your paper. Use bookmarks or sticky notes to mark pages you want to read more carefully and take
notes on.
Start a detailed Source Sheet that lists each resource you use as you take notes. This will come in handy when it's
time to name your sources.
Assign each source a code or abbreviation. This will keep you from having to write out the entire name on every
note or note card.
Writing Your Notes:
Use the same type of note card or paper for each note you take.
Always identify the source of the information and page number at the top of your note card or paper- use the code
for each source if possible.
Be sure to include the page number(s) where you located the information. This makes it easier to go back and
recheck or get additional information.
Only write on one side of the note card or paper. This will help when it comes time to organize and write your
outline.
Only write a small amount of information on each card. Keep your notes concise and to the point.

Reading is essential. It is the process by which people gain information and ideas from
books, newspapers, manuals, letters, contracts, advertisements and a host of other
materials.
At school, teacher teaches strategies for constructing meaning before, during and after
reading which will help students connect what they read now with what they have
learned in the past. Connecting your prior knowledge.
People who read well and widely build a strong foundation for learning in all areas of
life: doctors, lawyers, teachers, administrators, cooks, restaurant owners, factory
workers, truck delivery staffs, etc.
Books: Literature transmits ideas, reflects societies and eras, and expresses the
human imagination. It brings understanding, enrichment, and joy.
Appreciating literature and recognizing its many forms enable people to learn and
respond to ideas, perspectives and action of others. Literature study includes
understanding the structure and intent of a short poem or a long, complex book. By
exploring the techniques that authors use to convey messages and evoke responses,
you can connect literature to their own lives and daily experience.
