Session F-1: Investigating Quadrilaterals

Michael Keyton, Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy

Description

In a high school geometry course, quadrilaterals are not given much treatment compared to triangles or circles. Many students do not understand the necessity of proof, and few have ever discovered a potentially new theorem. Investigating quadrilaterals can solve both of these concerns. Using an interactive dynamic geometry program can turn any geometry student into a mathematician!
