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

Friday - All notebook work due (Geometry and Small Sections)
Monday - Time to review
Tuesday - Turn in online tests here
Wednesday/Thursday - Geometry Final Exam (last day to hang up/turn in your presentation project)

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 17

Let's finish up our text chapter assignments for the semester:
p109-110 6.5 N&O
p111-112 6.6 N&O
p113-114 6.7 N&O

Week 16

Geometry Notebook for the week:
103-104 6.2 N&O
105-106 6.3 N&O
107-108 6.4 N&O

Week 15

Assignments for the week:
97-98 5.5 N&O
99-100 5.6 N&O
101-102 6.1 N&O

Week 14

Assignments for Week 14:
p91, 92 5.2 Notes and Odds
P93, 94 5.3 Notes and Odds
P95, 96 5.4 Notes and Odds

Week 13

Assignments for Week 13:
p85, 86 4.6 Notes and Odds
P87, 88 4.7 Notes and Odds
P89, 90 5.1 Notes and Odds

Extra credit boards can be made (3 problems per person from the homework, make sure there is no overlap) - if Mr. Chapman is not present, save the boards for presentation the next day.

Reminder - have your small sections notebook and your reflection done for credit.

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.
