Squeak
Theorem Challenge
 Description
In this activity Norbert
and Zot are mathematics
professors. They challenge
you to exercise your
mind by trying to create
theorems about parallelograms.
A theorem is a statement
about mathematics that
can be proved (or shown)
to be true. Norbert and
Zot have tools to help
you explore parallelograms.
The tools allow you to
draw parallelograms of
various shapes and sizes
and meaasure the areas
of the parallelograms.
From your explorations,
you should be able to
come up with some statements
about parallelograms
that seem like they should
be true.
Instructional
Objectives
The student will
- explore parallelograms
and create theorems.
- learn about parallelograms
from the theorems they
create.
- measure and learn
about the area of parallelograms.
- explore and learn
about mirror reflection.
- draw a kite using
parallelograms and
the theorems they created.
