Happy break everyone!
(Semester Grades are posted - hope you earned the grade you were aiming for!)
Remember, you'll need a new notebook for next semester.
Oh, and some hints for Spring semester....
What goes around...
Keep folding

Finishing the Semester
Dead Week
A good week to make sure we're all caught up on our work and that we know our stuff.
Each day during class complete one of the first six online chapter tests (take a screenshot when you finish - command-shift-3 - and turn them in to Mr. Chapman's drop box). If you are having trouble, be sure to refer to the online lesson quizzes for help.
Please name your files appropriately (Pat Ch02, etc.) before you drop them in the inbox.

Week 11
Some subtle notebook changes:
Essentially, your notes should still include the title and learning goals for each section, anything in a green box, as well as the answers to the questions posed in class (absent? get them from a partner!)
The problems will now all be grouped together (all odds, 1-??), so the guided practice will be the start of your homework.
This week
p.73 = 3.7 Notes (with notecard activity)
p.74 = 3.7 Odds
p.75 = 4.1 Notes (with triangle activity)
p.76 = 4.1 Odds
p.77 = 4.2 Notes
p.78 = 4.2 Odds

What is slope?
How do we calculate it?
What can we say about the slope of parallel lines?
What can we say about the intercepts of parallel lines?
What is the slope-intercept form for a line?
What is the slope of all horizontal lines?
What is the slope of all vertical lines? (undefined!)
pp. 67-72 are due tomorrow, a quiz is anticipated...

Nice job with taking care of makeup work, don't forget to finish your complementary angle projects in Geometer's Sketch Pad over break :-)
We spent a little time investigating the congruence of corresponding angles in parallel lines cut by a transversal - looking for linear pairs allows us to solve many seemingly complicated algebraic questions...

Just to clarify for the end of the quarter, makeup work from pp55-59 are due by end of class Thursday.
The last notebook set for the quarter is due Thursday, and consists of:
60 = 3.1 N&GP
61 = 3.1 Odds
62 = 3.2 N&GP
63 = 3.2 Odds
64 = Some Qs for U (about points and planes and perpendicular constructions)
65 = 3.3 N&GP
66 = 3.3 Odds

Short and sweet homework assignment for Ch2.5 (p53 = notes, p54 = odds)
If the two column proofs are confusing you, just take a moment to follow the logic of the steps. As time goes on, you'll get used to using the postulates, theorems, statements of equality, and definitions, but the most important thing is that you "get" the concepts used in each step!
Don't forget to review the section on constructing copies of line segments.
P47 Logic Puzzles!
For an extra challenge, try solving Einstein's logic puzzle - he predicted that 98% of the world's population would never be able to figure it out...
We spent a bit more time on logic - we want to be sure to have our fundamentals in place for our deeper investigations into geometry.
New handout to add to P43, and we have a new progress report to place in our small sections notebooks and bring signed by parent/guardian tomorrow! Please finish the 2.1 odds on P44...
Seems like the review quizzes and tests worked, nice job on the test everyone (and great job getting your questions answered today during the test analysis)
Please complete the test analysis questions tonight on p42
Remember, tomorrow is Friday, the day to submit makeup work for pp.32-37, and your supplementary angle projects should be completed by now!
A little Ch.1 Test tomorrow - nice job on the reference posters today, some of you are going for bonus points! - just make sure to turn them in and post them prior to the start of class tomorrow!
If you'd like to see how you're doing before taking the test, try some of the sample online quizzes and tests (see the new link at the top of this page)
P41 will be for the Chapter Review, if necessary... If you think you need the practice, feel free to do it for homework tonight.
Cool storm last night, and we also made some solid group decisions on how to improve our classroom learning process...
P38 = Ch1.7 Notes (Guided practice is included in our note-taking process now)
P39 = Ch1.7 Odds (you can skip these guided practices if you want, since such practice is included in our class activities)
P40 = Quiz 1#3
Please be prepared for the review on Tuesday, followed by our Chapter Test on Wednesday
P.36 is 1.6 evens, tomorrow is Friday, last day for fixing any late work on pp.23-31!
We're almost to a chapter test, start reviewing and making sure that you're getting your questions answered...
How is the project going? Looks like most of the computers are now solidly updated and running well - see me if you have problems.

P35 will be your self-eval test (found in the text after section 1.5)
Today we blew through section 1.6 (P36)and focused on the important things - how to create a manipulative that will allow us to visualize our geometric endeavors - through the software program Geometer's Sketchpad. (see example 1) You received your first technological project, please show it to me when you complete it. (see example of assignment) Those of you with continuing computer issues, please see me during lunch so we can work out any remaining kinks!

Hopefully, you are starting to get the pattern for notebook organization - remember, generally if we're talking page numbers, it's in the notebook, if we talk chapters, we're talking about the text.
We had some discussion about homework norms, and notetaking tidbits, and after our discussion about airports, we completed the review questions together.
p.24 was notes & guided practice for CH 1.1 (Do all 11 Guided practice problems)
p.25 will be the homework problem set for CH1.1 (12-70 evens)
HW finish p.24 (see the homework norms for specific instructions - title, goals, vocab, guided practice)
We spent some time sharing our favorite patterns and examining the nature of patterns in general
p.15 Whiteboarding Norms (still in process this week)
pp.16-17 Postulates (Two columns optional)
pp.18-21 Theorems
Quiz #1
Student feedback
HW - p.22 Find the part of your book that describes the patterns for how airport runways are named, complete the missing runway names, and then do some research to determine the names of the three Sky Harbor airport runways.p.23 - Ch.1 Skill Review #1-16
Please complete the info sheet
pp.10-11 Kind of Student We Want - we discussed and wrote down thoughts about our four design principles:
Scholarly Endeavors, Authentic Experiences, Multiple Perspectives, and Personalization
pp.12-13 Tower, draft designs, and final products with comments and post-processing
we then discussed the nature of patterns - repetitive and predictable
HW p.14 - find a pattern in nature and describe it
Today we spent some time discussing the importance of notebooks as learning aids, organized them for the semester, and then discussed the various tower designs and how geometry can play a part in architectural projects.
pp.1-4 Table of Contents (two columns each page)
pp.5-7 Vocabulary Boxes
pp.8-9 PFS
HW - review and initial the Plan for Success with your parent(s).
Paper Towers today - WOW! Every group managed to build towers high enough for full credit, with a new rookie record of 149cm set in the AM, and then bested with a 186cm effort in the PM!
HW: On a half sheet of paper, draw your tower, state the best measured height, and describe what you would do differently to have a taller tower next time.
A bound lab-notebook is needed for class tomorrow
Welcome to the Geometry Blog for BioScience High School!
Hosted by Mr. Chapman
Some notation notes - when we talk about the notebook, we'll say "p.16"; when we want to refer to the text, we'll say "section 1.1", or "text page 652".
Today was a short meeting following our morning activites, we spent some time discussing the shared vision of our school and how it applies to the learning process, and then we adjourned with a mental homework assignment regarding a competition tomorrow...please document at least two potential designs!
Also, please have a bound lab notebook (graph paper HIGHLY recommended) for class on Wednesday
