Honors+Geometry

=Unit 1: Line and Angle Relationships= Chapter outcomes: [|Hon Geo Chapter 1 outcomes.pdf] Today we will get an Intro to the wiki we will be using this year to communicate with each other. For next class I would like you to cover your book and complete the assignment:
 * understand the parallel line postulate distinguishes Euclidean geometry from other geometries
 * understand the geometry vocabulary and the properties of Algebra in order to build future concepts including their appropriate use in proving theorems and solving associated algebraic problems
 * classify angles as acute, obtuse, right, reflex, supplementary, complementary, adjacent, or vertical
 * complete a direct proof of a theorem using the 5 Key Steps Method found in the text Elementary Geometry for College Students (Alexander and Koeberlein)
 * __Wednesday, September 2__**

__**Friday, September 4**__ Today in class we will be practicing the content from 1-1 to be sure you are comfortable with the vocabulary. We will introduce 1-2. If we have time we will begin the inclass Venn Diagram Activity. Your homework for today is: 1.2 Pgs. 17-20 (1-7,9-16, 19, 27, 28, 35-40, 42-45, 47, 48, 50)

__**Wednesday, September 9**__ We will do a homework check, go over homework and then we will take 40min to do the Venn Diagram Activity. After this we will spend 25 minutes on section 1-3. The focus will be on writing a good definition, understanding the basic postulates and computation using those postulates. Homework tonight is **pg.27-29, 1-8 all,10-20even, 24,26,38**. If you did not get the updated assignment on the wiki for last class I will give you an alternate assignment today. Double duty - Sorry! There will be a quiz next class as well.

__**Friday September 11**__ Today we review homework from section 1.3 and took a Quiz. If you were absent you will need to make that up by September 16th. The homework tonight is to read 1.4 and complete the guide that goes with it. You will need a compass to make constructions - if you don't have one you may borrow one from me. Have a great weekend!

__**Tuesday September 15**__ Today we applied the relationships you read about in 1.4. Supplements, complements, bisectors etc... There will be a quiz next class on section 1.4 Please study! Your homework is to read 1.5 and do 2-32 evens starting on page 43. We will review briefly before your quiz.

__**Thursday Sept 17**__ Today we took a quiz on 1.4 to redeem ourselves - we clarified the Transitive Property and practiced 2 proofs. pg 44 25, 27 and finish 29 is your homework. On our list of outcomes for chapter 1 we are on the last outcome - complete proofs using the 5 step method. If you have a chance make a list of definitons, a list of postulates and a list of Theorems for quick reference. Also, read the 5 step process found in 1.6 we will use it next class.

Monday Sept 21 Today we reviewed the idea of a formal proof and did some practice. Your homework is pg50-53 1,3,4,11,12,20,22,26

__**Wednesday Sept 23**__ Today we went over the proofs found in 1.6 and tried to solidify the idea that the statements in proofs are generated from the given and each other. We did a practice proof in class that I collected. Your homework is on page 65 1-20,36 (I think this might be different than I wrote down in class so if it is don't worry. Do what you wrote down and I'll be flexible).

Friday Sept 25 Today we reviewed how to use postulates, definitions and theorems to support statements in a proof. Your assignment was page 57 4,6,8,10 Please come ready to work on Tuesday - we have a lot to do!

Monday Sept 28 Today we continued on in 1.7 You had a classwork assignment pg 57-58 14-22,26,28 and pg 61 38,44 No one finished so your job was to complete for homework. I am still planning on a test next class!

__**Tuesday October 13**__ Today we reviewed the ways to prove lines parallel, completed 2 proofs in class in addition to reviewing the one you had to do for homework. You took a quiz, which I am happy to say had a class average of about 93, which assessed the information from section 2.1. Next class we will venture into more proofs and the idea of an INDIRECT proof (2.2) Your homework for tonight is to do pg.91 19,22,25-28 and be able to contribute to question 29 in class.

Thursday Oct 15 Today we reviewed the process of a formal proof by completing #29 as a group. Hopefully we took away the concept that in order to do the proof of a theorem we cannot use the theorem itself - only those theorems, postulates and definitions that come prior to the theorem being proved. The idea of an indirect proof was introduced. Your homework is to complete the reading guide and do 1-17 odd on 84-85.

Wednesday October 21: We explored the relationship between the number of segments in a polygon and the sum of the angles in the polygon. A regular polygon must have all congruent sides and all congruent angles.

Homework pg 101 1-13 odd, 28,29 Read section 2.6 Be able to define point and line symmetry.

pg 67: 39,40,41 pg.69: 20,21,22 pg 79: 19,22,23,24 pg 124: 33,34,35,40 pg 126: 16,17,18 Each proof is worth 1.8 points for a total of 30 points. Be sure each proof is legible. Be sure each is structured in the Statement / Reason format unless it is an indirect proof. Be sure to keep the proofs grouped by page and labeled clearly. You can receive partial credit for an attempted prood however you will not receive credit for the given and prove statements in the proof.**
 * Extra Credit Opportunity DUE by October 30th

Corresponding parts must match up when you write congruence statements. There are 4 ways to prove triangles conguent: SSS, ASA, AAS and SAS.
 * November 2** - a new chapter has begun - Proving Triangles Congruent homework is pg 135 9-12,14,17,19,32


 * November 4** - We worked on the idea that once triangles are congruent the remaining 3 corresponding parts must also be congruent. The reason used to support these statements is CPCTC. We didn't finish our work in class so the homework is to pg 137 #40, pg 143 11, 16 and 22


 * November 6th**: Your homework for tonight is to create a notes page for section 3.3 It should include the vocabulary, the theorems and corollaries identified and an example of at least one of the theorems or corollaries being applied. You must also do on page 151 (1-8, 13-20)

__**November 17**__ - homework for today is pg 165 1-32, not 28. Your chapter 3 test will be on Monday November 23rd. Be sure you make up the practice page from the sub and turn it in next class if you intend to regain some credit. On your test make sure you can prove triangles congruent, that you know how to show parts of congruent triangles are congruent and that you can prove relationships based on corresponding parts are true. Triangle inequality relationships as well as the relationships in isosceles triangles will all be on the test.

__**November 31:**__ We did the jigsaw activity for quadrilaterals. Your homework is pg 184 3-12. In class next time we will complete the chart and explore the relationships in a parallelogram and a kite (5.2). Remember our goal is to be done chapter 4 by Christmas break. I have a test scheduled for December 16th.

December 8: Homework study guide pg 201 ( 3-6,8-18) The tentative test date is December 16 -Next Wednesday!


 * December 16:** You took your test today on Chapter 4. I would like to complete section 1 and 2 from chapter 5 before vacation. Your homework tonight is to read section 5.1 and be ready for a brief quiz over the reading. Much of this content is review so don't freak out!

__**January 6th**__ : Today we reviewed for your quiz on 5-1/5-2 that will happen on Friday. We covered the material in 5-3 which is methods to show triangles similar. The homework assignment for tonight is pg 238-39 12, 13, 16, 22 (proofs) and on page 248 7, 13a, 13b - Review of Pythagorean Theorem. I did not finish the semester review so come see be after school tomorrow or get it in class on Friday. It has been a tough week back to school but the semester is almost over!

J**anuary 8th** - Homework is pg 248-49 7,13,17,21,28 Remember to come with your musical talents fine tuned!

January 14: There is missing information on the study guide so #9 uses a diagram found on page91 - sorry. I had fun with you all this semester after the bumpy start with soccer and all. Study hard!

__**February 5th:**__ Today we covered the relationships between the lengths of segments in a circle. Your homework is practice 9-7. Tuesday we will do some in class practice problems and begin the idea of LOCUS and on Thursday we will have a quiz on the lengths of segments and finish up with Locus. The chapter 6 test will be the March 2nd but we will begin chapter 7 on February26. The goal is to have chapter 7 and 8 done by April vacation.
