Parallelogram • A parallelogram is a quadrilateral whose opposite sides are parallel.
Lesson Investigation Part A - Instructions • In pairs, use a straightedge to draw two parallel segments on a piece of patty paper. Then draw two other parallel segments to form a parallelogram. • Place a second piece of patty paper over the first and copy the parallelogram onto the second. • By moving the copies around, what conjectures can you make about the properties of parallelograms. • You have ten minutes!!! • Part A – Guiding Questions • How do the lengths of the opposite sides compare? • How do the sizes of the opposite angles compare? • How do the sizes of consecutive angles compare?
Parallelogram • Part A – Guiding Questions • How do the lengths of the opposite sides compare? • How do the sizes of the opposite angles compare? • How do the sizes of consecutive angles compare?
Lesson Investigation • Part B – Instructions • Draw or fold the two diagonals of the parallelogram. • Place a dot at their intersection. • You have five minutes!!! • Part B - Guiding Questions • How do the segments of each diagonal compare? • What can be said about the intersection of the diagonals? • How many congruent triangles are formed within the parallelogram?

Properties of Parallelograms • THM 6.3: The opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent. • THM 6.4: The opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent.
Properties of Parallelograms • THM 6.5: The consecutive interior angles of a parallelogram are supplementary. 2 1 THM 6.6: The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
