Geometry

=Unit 1: Discovering Points, Lines, Planes and Angles= Chapter objectives: __Wednesday, September 2__ Today we will be completing the intro on using this wiki. It will be our source of communication this year. I would like you to cover your book for next class and complete **pg 9 problems 9, 11-16, 23-31, 33.** In class we will be establishing class expectations and completing some intro problems about the Coordinate Plane. To explore the Coordinate Plane click[|here] for White 1 and [|here] for White 4

__Friday, September 4__
 * White 4**: Sophomores are going to a meeting for laptops. The rest of us will continue to explore the Cartesian Plane and the relationship between the perimeter and area of rectangles. Those who miss class should complete the backside of the classwork handed out last class for homework. The rest of you are all good! Have a great Labor Day Weekend.


 * White 1**: Homework is pg 23 15-30, 43 Be sure to label correctly!


 * Friday September 11:**
 * White 1**: We did a homework check and you took a quiz. There was no homework for you over the weekend!
 * White 4:** You all finished up 1.4 - using the Midpoint and Bisectors to solve for missing lengths. No homework for you but Quiz next class - study!

__**Tuesday September 15**__ Today in White 1 we completed section 1.4 - finding the length of a segment. Your homework was to do 16-44 on pg 33. Period 4 today is taking the quiz and you will also have the same assignment as period 1.

Thursday Sept 17 Today in Geometry we reviewed the distance formula and Pythagorean Theorem. We identified that you would use the Pyt Th. if you had the points graphed and it was convenient to count. We would want to use the distance formula if we are just given the coordinates. We added the Midpoint Formula and the definition of a bisector to our vocablulary. Remember a line can be a bisector but a line cannot be bisected! homework pg. 41 15-25,28 and 33 for both classes. have a great weekend!

Wednesday Sept 23 Today we introduced parts of an angle and the idea that angles can be added together just like segments. We also reviewed Pythagorean Theorem and Midpoint Formula on the thatquiz.org site. Your homework for today is pg 50 18-38 evens.

Friday Sept 25 Today we covered section 1.7: Special Angle Relationships. The homework is pg. 59 1-25,28. test next Thursday!

Monday Sept 28 We reviewed today using the practice test. It is graded and outside my door if you want yours back to study. Test on unit 1 tomorrow!

October 7th - Today we covered the relationships formed by parallel lines and transversals. Your homework is to complete practice worksheet 3-2. Be ready for a quiz!

October15 - Today we reviewed the relationships between parallel and perpendicular lines. The assignment is pg 141 6-8, 17-37 odd. have a nice weekend!

October 20 - The distance between a point and a line is defined as the length of the segment perpendicular to the line and having endpoints of the point and the intersection of the line perpendicular to the given line. We used Geogebra to model several questions. Your homework was pg 158 14-19, 23,24,28-33. Period 1 was a little different so I hope you wrote it down. On Friday we will be doing NWEAs and Tuesday we will review and on next Thursday we will be taking the chapter 2 test.

Today we went over the chapter 2 test. Remember you can use your notebooks on your semester exam so it is important to keep old tests, quizzes and notes. We also began Chapter 4 which focuses on triangles. The assignment is pg. 184 16-23, 33. Start the quarter off with a 100! Do your homework!
 * November 2, 2009**

November 4: Today we discussed exterior angles and the remote interior angles. The homework was to complete Practice 4-2 We also took a quiz over 4-1.

November 17th - we finished up the chapter today and worked in class. period 4 has homework pg 796 1-17, pg 209 6-8,14-20 and finish in class practice if it wasn't done. We will be having a test on Monday next week.

__**January 6th**__: Wow it has been way too long since I have updated things on the wiki! Today we went over the properties of all but 3 Quadrilaterals and focused on the parallelogram. Your homework is on page 295 17-29, 31,33,34 The practice exam is ready so if you would like to pick it up you can or you can get it in class on Friday. You will have a quiz next Thursday on parallelograms, rectangles and rhombuses.


 * January 8th:** Your homework is on page 300 (15-26) on a few you will need to solve a system of equations by substitution and you will need to factor a quadratic equation - remember those Algebra skills!

February 3: We started Chapter 7 homework is pg 341 (6-13,30-32,37-41) You may do supercorrections and hand them in next Thursday.


 * February 5:** We took notes in class and started the in class work. I'll review it before next class and we'll finish next time. Homework is pg351 13,14,15, 19-22. Have a great weekend!
