Objectives to be covered on Ch. 9 Test:
- express area formulas for rectangle, square, parallelogram, triangle, trapezoid, rhombus, kite, regular polygon, and circle WITHOUT using the words "base", "height", "length", "width"
- calculate the area/perimeter of a figure given its dimensions
- calculate the dimensions/perimeter of a figure given its area
- describe the effect of changes to the dimensions on the area/perimeter of a figure
- use geometric principles to calculate probabilities
- calculate/estimate the area of irregular figures ...
... if the figure lies on a grid, consider applying Pick's Formula or some related method
... if the figure does NOT lie on a grid, consider applying the Area Addition Postulate


Modern Math - We began our discussion of Ch. 3 today, focusing on fair-division games (Sec. 3.1).
