This geometry project requires students to create a slideshow about special parallelograms and their properties. Each student must pick one quadrilateral to focus on, defining it and explaining its characteristics, area, and perimeter. Students should include examples and practice problems in their presentations. The slideshows will be uploaded online and hard copies submitted for evaluation based on design, content clarity, vocabulary, neatness, and organization. The goal is to make math more engaging for students while strengthening their math and technology skills.

2. Task The product of this project is a slide show. Each student has to create his/her slideshow about special parallelograms and their properties. Also, each student has to pick one quadrilateral from family of a parallelogram. Then, students have to write everything about this figure (definition, properties, area, perimeter.) In addition, students have to come up with problems related to chosen figures and present them. Students may use pictures, graphs, or drawings to enhance their presentations.

3. Presentation. All slideshows must be sent to Blog via Slideshare. Instructions on how to upload slideshows onto Blog is on every class Blog page. Also, a hard copy of the presentation must be given to me for an evaluation.

4. Evaluation Category 3 2 1 Cover Attractive and complete. Somewhat attractive and complete. Not attractive and incomplete. Background Explanation includes details and is clear. Explanation has few details and is somewhat clear. Explanation has no details and is unclear. Mathematical Vocabulary/Content Correct mathematical vocabulary and content is always used. Correct mathematical vocabulary and content is generally used. Correct mathematical vocabulary is never used. Neatness Organization The work is presented in a neat, clear, organized fashion that is easy to read. The work is presented in a relatively neat and organized fashion that is generally easy to read. The work lacks organization and may be hard to read at times.

5. Conclusion This project will help you learn special quadrilaterals. Among other things, your ability to do research and select relevant information will be put to test. I hope you will enjoy working on this project. Good luck.
