Week 22

We started Unit 9-Circles. We jumped in with 9.1 The Grammar of Circles. This unit took us the most amount of time. There is so much vocabulary to learn so we can talk about Circles. This unit also had some theorems that we translated into formulas. We worked together on some problems from the homework. The next section 9.2 had some more vocabulary, more formulas. This assignment for this section looks long, but we did so many of the problems together to reduce the amount you have to do at home. Those 2 sections took so much time to cover that we didn’t get to 9.3. I have made a video here at home, so that everyone can watch it and keep up with the units. That video is uploading as I am writing this. I was unable to cover some of the Formula Madness formulas and there is a video uploading for that also. The next Formula Madness quiz will include these 13 formulas. Please send me questions if you have any. I am here to help. Thanks for your hard work!

Week 21

This is the last week for Unit 8. We covered only 1 unit this week, but there is a review and a test to do. I gave one day to work on the project. This weeks lesson was more trigonometry. We used trig to find the missing angles of right triangles, and to find the information to find the area of a triangle. After that we did some constructions. I reviewed many of the previous constructions, then we created 60, 30, and 45 degree angles. We used these to make 30-60-90 and 45-45-90 triangles. These constructions are important because each student has to remember the properties of these triangles to make them. It is also very useful for those kinesthetic learners. Please let me know if you have any questions. Here is the video for this week.

Week 20

We were a few days late for our class, but everyone was on their game. We met yesterday on Google Hangouts because of sickness. This was a unique way of meeting,  I would miss seeing everyone if we did it every week, but it worked for this week. We covered 3 topics; Special Right Triangles, Trigonometric Ratios, and Solving Right Triangles. We did not take a formula madness quiz yesterday, we will take one next time we meet. Make sure you practice these. We will not meet next week because it is a break. Have a great break, If you have any questions don’t hesitate to send them to me. Here are the videos from class.
