NSHS 612 Quadrilaterals and Parallelograms

For asynchronous time today, you will be learning about the properties of quadrilaterals and parallelograms. Understanding these shapes will help you with spacial understanding and improve your deductive reasoning skills. You'll learn about shapes that are used in many fields from construction to graphics design--these shapes are everywhere and it's important to know the properties that make them similar and unique!

Review the Quadrilaterals Asynch Deck on Schoology.

You may search online if you are not sure about a question, as long as you take the time to understand the solution. It is important you understand this material as you will be assessed on it on Friday when we complete our City Design Project.
