Geometry Week 13

Everyone was at class yesterday! They were a lively bunch. I believe they were rested from the Thanksgiving time spent with family. We started a new Unit. This will be the last Unit before Christmas Break. We covered 3 sections. Each of these sections will have some review for the semester final. I have included problems from Unit 1-3 on these assignments. Section 6.1 will have unit 1 problems, 6.2 will have unit 2, and 6.3 will have unit 3. I encouraged them to send me pictures of any problems that they have on any homework assignments. I can help in many ways.

Here are the videos for each section covered.

Geomerty Week 12

We got so much accomplished today. We learned lessons 5.3 & 5.4 and then finished 5.3 homework together.  Some of us even got 1/2 of 5.4 done too. This way they can have a more relaxed time over the Thanksgiving holiday. There is a test this week. Unit 5 was very short. There were no new ways to do proofs this unit, but there were many constructions. This unit was very construction heavy. We did many constructions together in class.

I counseled them to learn the information on the yellow note sheet. There will be pictures on the Unit 5 test and they must know the terms well. the end of 5.3 and 5.4 have a multiple choice and matching section to help them study for that portion.

Here is the video from class:

Geometry Week 11

Yesterday was fantastic. Everyone was there at least 5 minutes early. We always have some time spent turning in papers, getting notes in the notebook, and such. Yesterday all those items were done and there was 3 minutes to spare. I was so happy. I talked about the semester final. Here are some of the highlights that I covered:
1. The exam will be cumulative for Units 1-6
2. There will not be a test for Unit 6 but the material will be on the final.
3. There will be a matching section that will have all terms from all the units.
4. There will be proofs on the exam.
5. When we get to Unit 6 I will be reviewing units 1-4 in the assignments.
This next week there will be a review and test over unit 4 and 2 lessons for Unit 5. There were a lot of constructions in the lessons yesterday. We drew several pictures on the terms sheets so that when they copy them into their postulate books they can include the pictures. Pictures are so much easier to find later than words. We took the time in class to write the converse for 2 theorems on the term sheet. After I explained each lesson we did several problems together from the homework. We did the most on unit 5.2 There were several constructions and we did half of them together.

Geometry Week 10

Yesterday’s class was fun. We added ASA and AAS to our list of shortcuts to proving triangles congruent. We also expanded our proofs to add CPCTC, to use the parts of a congruent triangle to prove more parts of a triangle congruent. Later we will use this to prove other things, like that lines are parallel, and more. We did many proofs together. We covered sections 4.4, 4.5, and 4.6. The assignment for 4.5 is all proofs. There is no review for that day. There is plenty of review on section 4.6. Proofs are getting more straight forward, since we have to prove each part of the shortcut. That helps us have a better strategy. We finished Unit 4, but will not have the test until next week. I have started to prepare for Unit 5. Here is the quizlet link for the Postulate/Theorems/ and Terms. They can start writing them in their postulate book if they want.

We did a construction on section 4.4 here is a link to help you with it.
