Week 10 Details
Welcome back from break!
Mon - Time for Trig, we learned about the ratios between the sides of a right triangle, specifically sohcahtoa (do you remember what it means?) and we practiced using them to find missing sides of triangles. 9.5 was assigned
Tue - Ok, so now we know how to use the sine, cosine, and tangent of angles to find sides, but can we use sides of triangles to figure out the missing angles (of course!) So we learned how to get the calculator to find the inverse sin, cos, and tan. 9.6 was assigned
Wed - Late start, hope you got great mileage out of the Resume workshop, summer school programs, and College Depot presentations!
Thu - Mr. Chapman is at the robotics competition, sophomores have an AIMS review packet to complete, juniors should work on their homework. Sophomores who finish their packets and juniors who complete at least 30 min of solid work can use the remainder of class to challenge people in online BLOKUS (or just keep working!)
Fri - same as Thursday, work hard, get things done, have a great weekend, and I'll see you on Monday.

W 2/3/09 Sub Instructions
GEOMETRY SUB INSTRUCTIONS W 2/3/09
Will someone please take the initiative to show this to the sub?
Students know that their assignments are to:
1) Complete the bellwork quiz* (finish by 10:05 or 1:45)
2) Work on their homework
3) Work on posting their solutions (this is new technology, some students may require assistance)
4) Bathroom passes may be issued at your discretion
5) Please take attendance in the orange sub folder
Thank you!
*Some notes on the bellwork quizzes:
The quizzes are posted on this blog (chapmangeometry.blogspot.com)
All resources are valid (books, computers, neighbors, etc)
Students have five minutes (8:05, 9:05, 10:05 or 1:45) to turn in their work
they then have five minutes (8:10, 9:10, 10:10, or 1:50) to whiteboard their solutions
and then have five minutes (8:15, 9:15, 10:15 or 1:55) for each group to present
followed by independent academic time
Usually we grade the quizzes during presentations, but I'll just take care of that upon my return.

Bellwork Quiz #7
P12 √ 7.3 Rotations
P13 is section 7.4
Translations and Vectors
Goal #1: Identify and Use Translations
Vocab: Translation

Vocab: vector, initial point, terminal point, component form
To write a vector in component form, use "<"x,y">"
e.g. 3 right, 7 up is <3,7>
e.g. 5 down, 2 left is <-2,-5>
notice the order of the -2, and -5!!!
