Introductionme39407206e688efa_1528450127855_0Introduction

The teacher introduces the topic of the lesson: learning about the properties of the rectanglerectanglerectangle and the square.

The students revise the definition and the properties of the rectangle and the square. They give the examples of the objects in a shape of the rectangle and the squaresquaresquare.

The rectangle is a quadranglequadranglequadrangle with all right angles.

[Illustration 1]

The points: A,B,C,D are the vertices of the rectanglerectanglerectangle.
The segments: AB, BC, CD, DA are the sides of the rectangle.
The opposite sides are paralel and they are equal in length.
All angles are equal and they are 90°.

The squaresquaresquare is a rectanglerectanglerectangle with all equal sides.

[Illustration 2]

The points A, B, C, D are the vertices of the square.
The segments AB, BC, CD, DA are the sides of the squaresquaresquare.
The opposite sides are parallel and all the sides are equal.
All the angles are equal and they are 90°.

Students give examples of models of rectangles and squares in the surrounding reality.

Procedureme39407206e688efa_1528446435040_0Procedure

Task

The students work together to find out how many rectangles and squares can be seen in the drawing below.
How many squares and rectangles can you see in the drawing?

[Illustration 3]

(The answer: There are 4 squares and 12 rectangles.)

After completing the task the students should draw the following conclusion:

Every square is a rectangle.
Not every rectangle is a square.
me39407206e688efa_1527752263647_0Every square is a rectangle.
Not every rectangle is a square.

Task
Every student draws a rectanglerectanglerectangle in his notebook. Then, he draws the segment which joins the opposite vertices. The teacher tells the students that the segments they have drawn are called the diagonals of the rectangles.

The segment which join two vertices of the rectangle and it is not one of its sides is called the diagonal.me39407206e688efa_1527752256679_0The segment which join two vertices of the rectangle and it is not one of its sides is called the diagonal.

Using the applet the students watch how the angleangleangle of intersection of the diagonals of the rectangle changes as the length of its sides changes.

[Geogebra applet 1]

Task
Open the applet and change the position of the vertexvertexvertex C. Watch the change of the value of the angleangleangle between the diagonals of the rectanglerectanglerectangle.

In what way are the diagonals divided by the intersection point?
In what circumstances is the rectangle a squaresquaresquare?

The students should come up with the following conclusions:

- The rectangle is a square, if its diagonals intersect at the right angleright angleright angle.
- The diagonals of the rectanglerectanglerectangle are equal and they are divided into halves.
- The diagonals of the square are perpendicular, equal and they are divided into halves.

The students draw a squaresquaresquare using the properties of its diagonals.

Task
Draw two perpendicular straight lines. Mark four points on them in such a way that they become the vertices of the square with the diagonaldiagonaldiagonal of 4 cm.

Task
Draw the squaresquaresquare whose sum of the lengths of its diagonals equals 10 cm.
The students draw the rectanglerectanglerectangle using the properties of its diagonals.

Task

Draw the rectangle whose diagonaldiagonaldiagonal is 6 cm and the angleangleangle between the diagonals is 100°.
The teacher tells the students to watch how the length of the sides of the rectangle changes due to the change of its perimeter.

Task
Open the applet and change the position of point P to create the rectanglerectanglerectangle of the specified perimeter.

[Geogebra applet 2]

Then, together they draw the conclusion to memorize:
The perimeter of the rectanglerectanglerectangle equals the sum of its all sides.

An extra Task

Measure the length of any frame in the rectangular shape. Calculate how many centimetres of strips were used to make it.

Lesson summaryme39407206e688efa_1528450119332_0Lesson summary

Students do the exercises summarizing the class.

Then, together they sum up the classes, drawing the conclusions to memorize:

- The rectangle is a quadrangle with all right angles. The opposite sides are equal and parallel to each other. All the angles are equal and they are 90°. The diagonals are of the same length and they are divided into halves.
- The square is a rectangle with all equal sides. The opposite sides are parallel, all sides are equal. All angles are equal and they are 90°. The diagonals are perpendicular, equal and they are divided into halves.
- The perimeter of the rectangle (square) equals the sum of its all sides.
