Week 25

Today we got through all 3 lessons. The students found that these lessons are easier than the circles. We don’t have postulates and theorem term sheets this unit. We are just using our formula madness sheets this unit. Make sure you practice your formula madness this week. We WILL be taking the quiz IN CLASS next class. We are studying area, perimeter, and the angles of polygons this unit. I want to remind everyone to work on your projects. I had a wonderful report today that there one person that is done with the project. I hope that is an inspiration to everyone else. As I went around the table today I noticed that everyone has worked on the project extensively. I am looking forward to watching these presentations on April 15. Parents I hope to see you here April 15. It will be great for you to see what everyone has done. Next week we will NOT have class, you have a break. This could be a time to catch up on your project if you need it. Please send me questions when they arise. The videos are being uploaded now. Here are the videos for this week.

Week 24

This week we concluded our Unit on circles. We covered 9.6 graphing circles, and 9.7 Using Quadratics With Circles & Algebra Review. We were able to finish all of these in class this week. They will do these 2 lessons before they do the unit review and test. The printed schedule is a bit different, please have them do them in this order, 9.6, 9.7, Review 9, and then Test 9. Please have them take the Formula Madness at home this week again. It helped us have more time in class. Next week we will start Unit 10 Area. I am so excited. I had everyone of you ask me a question outside of class. I want to help. Please send me more questions. Have a great week.

Week 23

Today we had a great class. Today we got to know each other better by trying to guess the fib
between 3 statements given. It was fun trying to guess. They were also to try to guess the fib using their geometry skills for section 9.4. It is almost Pi Day (3.14 or 3/14, or March 14) so we had a Brownie Cheesecake Pie to celebrate. There is some calculating they will do with their circular (for pi day) container for homework. We also had so much to cover that we didn’t get done. We were only able to cover 1 section. We decided to do a video for one of the lessons, and I will move the 3rd lesson to next week. So…
* 9.4 I covered in class and will upload the video to the blog
* 9.5 We didn’t get to in class and I made a video that will be uploaded to the blog. This section also has the Pi Day calculations.
* 9.6 We didn’t cover and I will move it to next week. There will be no video uploaded to the blog this week.
As a result I will need to change the quiz. I will be sending another one soon. I believe that the formula madness quizzes are taking too much time in class. I will not be giving them each class. I will only be doing these on the first day of the new information. I will be asking that the parents give these. I will send the quizzes and the answers to you. If you want me to grade it I will. Parents please give the next formula madness quiz at home and send it with your student. I will provide the answers for you.
I am asking that you work on your project. The due date is coming up quick. It is due April 15. I am inviting all the parents to watch these. Parents please make plans to be here for the presentations.
Next week please bring a statement about yourself that is either a fact or a fictions. We are going to try to guess which it is. As always please ask me any questions you may have. I will answer it as soon as I can. Thanks for all your hard work.
Here is the videos from this week.
