Active Maths Homework Program is a topic-based homework program featuring a student book and teacher resource book at Years 7 to 10. The series has been revised to address all the content descriptions and achievement standards contained in the Mathematics Australian Curriculum.

Each student book covers the core Mathematics topics taught at that level, and incorporates skill sheets, investigations and technology tasks.

The teacher book features:££ introductory material on the topics in all books, showing alignment

with the Australian Curriculum££ simple suggestions on ways the program can be used in your school££ a quick teacher reference guide that includes a list of:− skillsheets and a breakdown of concepts covered− investigations, with descriptions and problem-solving behaviours

highlighted− technology tasks, with descriptions and details of the

technologies used in each task££ all student tasks from the student book, with answers included for

easy marking££ a simple record sheet that can be photocopied to record individual

student progress££ four certificate templates that can be photocopied and modified to

your school needs.

The program has a simple and flexible design, enabling it to successfully complement any other Mathematics resource being used. It is written by teachers for teachers, and has been successfully trialled and used throughout Australia.

Quadrilateral properties

The family of quadrilaterals includes a number of special quadrilaterals: the trapezium, the rhombus and the kite. These shapes are used in many origami designs. In this investigationyouwillusepaper-foldingtoinvestigatethespecial properties of these shapes. You will need some origami squares or A5 paper (A4 cut in half).

1 Follow the steps below to create an origami kite.

• If you need to make origami squares: Take an A5 sheet and fold the right corner down to the bottom and crease the paper. Cut the paper carefully along the edge of the fold as shown.

• Take a square and make a triangle fold, folding along one of the diagonals of the square. If you made your own squares, you will already have a folded diagonal.

• Unfold the paper. Now fold the right and left sides so that their corners meet the crease line as shown below. You now have a kite.

• Fold the kite in half along the diagonal again so that the opposite vertices meet and then unfold.

a Look at your folded kite. What is true of the length of adjacent sides?

b What is true of angles of the opposite vertices?

c If you look at the back of your kite you will see a small triangle

formed at the bottom. Fold this triangle over as shown below and then unfold. What appears to be true of the diagonals of the kite?

d How many axes of symmetry does the kite have?

2 To make a rhombus, start by making a kite as described previously.

• Now fold the top right edge to meet the crease in the centre as shown below. Fold the other edge in the same way. Turn over your design. You now have a rhombus.

• Fold the opposite vertices of the rhombus together as shown below, and then unfold again.

a Based on your folding of the rhombus, what is true of the lengths of its sides?

b Based on your folding of the rhombus, what is true of the opposite

angles of a rhombus?

c Dothediagonalsbisecteachother(cuteachotherinhalf)? At what angle? d How many axes of symmetry does the rhombus have? e Trueorfalse:Oppositesidesofarhombusareparallel. f Based on your answer to e, what must be true of the adjacent angles of a rhombus?

3 To make a trapezium, start by making a kite as described previously.

• Now fold the bottom vertex up as shown below. Then fold the top triangle down as before. You now have an isosceles trapezium. (Base angles are equal.)

• Fold the trapezium in half and unfold. Now fold the top right vertex down as shown below.

a True or false: A trapezium has only one pair of parallel sides. b Complete: There are pairs of supplementary angles in a trapezium.

c Drawadiagramofyourtrapeziumbelow,showingthepairsof supplementary angles.

Macmillan Active Maths 8 Technology task—The Geometer’s Sketchpad

Transformations and congruence

The Geometer’s Sketchpad can be used to transform triangles and other shapes on the Cartesian plane. In this task, you will transform a triangle by reflecting, rotating and translating it and use transformations to demonstrate that two triangles are congruent.

1 Follow these steps to use Geometer’s Sketchpad to reflect, rotate and translate DABC on the Cartesian plane.

• Openanewfile,nameandsaveit.OpentheGraph menu and select Show Grid. Then select Snap Points on the Graph menu.

• Use the Line Segment tool to draw a triangle DABC with coordinates A(–8, 2), B(–6, 6), C(–2, 4). Label the points using the Text tool.

• Use the Arrow tool to click on each vertex of the triangle and then open the Construct menu and select Construct Triangle Interior.

• To reflect DABC in the y-axis,double-clickthey-axistomarkitasthemirrorline.ThenselectDABC, open the Transform menu and select Reflect. The reflected image should appear.

a What are the coordinates of the reflected image? • To rotate DABC anticlockwise about point C by 90°, click on point C to mark it as the

centreofrotation.Selectthetriangle.OpentheTransform menu and select Rotate. Check Rotate By: Fixed Angle and enter 90. Then click on Rotate.

b What are the coordinates of the rotated image? • To translate DABC +3 units horizontally and +4vertically,selectthetriangle.Openthe

Transform menu, click on Translate, check Translation Vector: Rectangular, and enter 3 for horizontal fixed distance and 4 for vertical fixed distance. (The default grid is a 1 cm grid.) Then click on Translate.

c What are the coordinates of the translated image ? DABC and its reflected, rotated and translated images are congruent triangles. Paste a copy

of your sketch in the space below.

[The default direction for rotation is anticlockwise.]

2 Follow these steps to demonstrate that DABC and DDEF are congruent triangles.

• OpentheFile menu and click on Document options. Click on Add Page, Duplicate: 1. This shouldcreateanewpage2inyourdocument,whichisaduplicateofthefirstpage.Onthenew page, delete the transformed images. You should be left with DABC.

• DrawatriangleDDEF with coordinates D(0, 0), E(6, –2), F(2, –4). Label the points.

• Reflect DABC in the x-axis.

• Now experiment with translating the reflected image so that it coincides with DDEF. (You should see a faint image before you click on Translate.)

• DescribethecombinationoftransformationsrequiredtodemonstratethatDABC and DDEF are congruent.

Onanewdocumentpage,useacombinationofreflectionandrotationtotransformDABC. Then select the final image and reverse the transformations to return the image to original location of DABC. Save your file.

[An image can be selected in the same way as a constructed shape.]
