Week 12

This week's assignments (due Friday)
P79 4.3 Notes
P80 4.3 Odds
P81 4.4 Notes
P82 4.4 Odds
P83 4.5 Notes
P84 4.5 Odds

Good luck to those of you taking AIMS this week - see you when you're done!

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

THE Electronic Version of the Book is Here!

Copy it to your computer from:
Backpack/Commons/Geometry/Geometry Text

enjoy!

pp.67-72 are due today, as is any makeup work from 60-66.

Quiz today - hope you did well, and that your group managed to earn extra credit!

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...

PSAT today! Hope you did well, and had some fun with the after hours activities!

Today we learned how to construct copies of angles, and how to use this to make a parallel line through a specific point. Keep on working on sections 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6!

Who knew you could determine so much from parallel lines and their angles? We've set aside pages 67&68 for section 3.4 work, 69&70 are for section 3.5, and 71&72 are for 3.6.

Don't forget to show your solution sets to earn full credit :-)

Have a good break!

Feel free to complete your work on pp.60-66, or your complementary sketchpad project, or work ahead into section 3.4 on pp.67-68.

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...

We spent some time looking at the relative advantages and disadvantages of three formats for offering proofs: two-column, paragraph, and flow.
