HAPPY HALLOWEEN from the Great Pumpkin!!!!!

Geometry - We continued our discussion of the properties of triangles, proving several corollaries to the Triangle Sum Thm (Sec. 4.2).  Use this file to help you with problems involving the exterior angle of a triangle.

8:00 - Mr Katrenak taught once again. Today at the end of class you were given the Exterior Angle Theorem. The last proof in your packet is the Third Angles Theorem, which states, “If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the third pair of angles are congruent.” Work on both of these proofs for homework (Hint: Both proofs will use the Triangle Sum Theorem!). HW for Friday - Complete the proofs of the Exterior < Thm and the 3rd < Thm in you packet and complete pg. 228 #15-20 and #23.

1:00 and 2:00 - Mr. Sondgeroth taught these classes.  We continued our discussion of the angles of a triangle, focusing on the Exterior Angle Thm and The Third Angles Thm (Sec. 4.2).  HW for Friday - Complete this worksheet and pgs. 228-229  #29-34, #41-46.

Modern Math - We used class time to work on our Ch. 1 Paper/Project.  The paper is due at the start of the hour on Friday, Nov. 1.

Wednesday, October 30

Geometry - We continued our discussion of triangles, focusing on the various relationships that exist in a triangle (Sec. 4.1 - 4.2).

8:00 - Ms Katrenak taught again today.  She covered the remainder of Sec. 4.1 and began our discussion of the related theorems in Sec. 4.2  HW for Thursday - Find the corollaries to the Triangle Sum Theorem on page 224 and copy those onto the second page of your notes packet.  Using the Triangle Sum Theorem, try to do the proofs (#24 on page 228 will help you with the first).  Use this file to help you with problems involving the exterior angle of a triangle.  You will be sharing your ideas at the beginning of class tomorrow.  From the book, complete pgs. 219-220 #12-17, #19, and #29-31.

1:00 and 2:00 - Mr Sondgeroth taught today.We continued our discussion of the ways to classify a triangle (Sec. 4.1, 4.2).  HW for Thursday - Complete pgs. 219 - 220  #1-10, #12-17, #23-30, and #35-37.

Modern Math - We began working on our Ch. 1 projects.  Working in pairs, students are to complete one of the 5 activities listed under "Projects and Papers" on pgs. 40 - 41.  These projects are due at the start of class on Friday, Nov. 1.  Click here for a copy of the grading rubric.

Tuesday, October 29

Geometry - We reviewed the basics of ratios and proportions (Sec. 7.1) before beginning our discussion of triangles (Sec. 4.1, 4.2).  we used this sketch during class discussion.

8:00 - Ms. Katrenak taught today.   HW for Wednesday - Complete the worksheet distributed in class today. For the triangle classifications on the front side, look in Sec. 4-1 of your textbook for examples. Ratio and Proportion HW: complete pg. 458 #20, 22-27, 30, 34
