=**__January 30:__** I have attached a keynote review for chapter 3. Download it and answer the questions posed on each slide. The slide that asks you to identify the hypotenuse etc.. for the triangle on the board you can skip. No homework and your chap.3 test will be next Wednesday.=

= = = = = = =September 26th: Here is the practice test and key:= == ==

November 15th: Here is the reading guide for section 2.1. The key vocab are related to parallel lines and transversals. Complete the blanks on the reading guide either on seperate paper or you can print it out. Or type on it as a new file and airdrop it to me!

= June 13th: Here is the answer key to the practice exam: = = = = June 10th: Mr. Obrien and I met today to review our exam. We want to let you know that there is some information from Chapter 5. That info fell partially in both semesters. So please be advised that special right triangles (30-60-90, 45-45-90) pythagorean theorem and its converse, and geometric mean could be on the exam as well. Each chapter is balanced on the exam: 3, 4or 5 questions from each chapter. Remember you may have an index card (front only) for your exam.=

=June 5th: Standards for Chapter 10:= 10.1 Students can explain the role of similar triangles in trigonometry. They can explain the patterns of increase or decrease with all 3 ratios as well as special degree relationships: 45, complementary, 60 etc.

10.2 Students can use the trig ratios to solve for missing sides or angles in a right triangle.

10.3 Students can use the Law of Sines or Law of Cosines to find the missing sides or angles of an acute or obtuse triangle.

Reminder - the first 4 challenge problems are due on Friday (pg. 490 #37, pg 456 #36, pg 505 #43 and 45) Unit 10 test Friday as well! You all did great today in class! You have come so far since September working independently!

June 4th: Here is the analytic proof quiz prep material. You have a week from the day you received the quiz back to take it. =__May 31st:__ I am posting the practice trig quiz for you to try. We will go over the answers in class on Monday. We will have our chapter 10 test on Friday. I met with Mr. O and he has covered the law of sines and the law of cosines so we will take that on Monday after the quiz. I was also hoping that we could work on the chapter 10 challenge problems in class for this chapter. I will assign 2 on Monday, 2 on Wednesday and 3 on the following Tuesday. Since there is no time for supercorrections I will give you 15 minutes in class on tuesday June 11th to correct any errors on your test. Finally - here is the practice exam I promised yesterday. The final will cover primarily chapters 6-10 with some basic questions from the first semester.=

DC = 10.8 14.) X=3 15.) MN=7x+2 16.)2x +3y +1=MN 19.) h=√64 = 8

The first document attached here is the key to the practice test and the second document is the blank copy of the practice test for Chapter 4. . and

Here is the model of a Challenge Problem with the rubric included. I had to type it because the scanner still was not working. Yours do not have to be typed. I also did not have time to provide another example so I can include that at a later time.

If you finish early you can begin the **challenge problems: pg 137 #40, pg. 153 #36 and #41, pg. 167#27 and #33 Constructions: 1.) a 30-60-90 triangle with a hypotenuse of 2 inches. 2.) a 75˚ angle 3.) a regular hexagon with each side measuring 2 inches and 4.) pg 158 #23**

Thanx for the compassion and understanding around my absences. My son is doing better but has to leave school early again today. I will be flexible with things as well. Test next Friday on Chapter 3!
 * December 14, 2012 **: Here is the practice quiz for 3.3. I will post the answers before Sunday at 6pm. I would encourage you to start the challenge problems.

J__**anuary 9th**__: Here is the practice quiz and the answer to the 4.1 homework. Check tomorrow for the quiz key and the 4.2 homework key.

__**January 10th:**__ I am posting the prac quiz key, the practice exam and the exam key! Red 2 exam is on January 15th- 2nd slot and Red 4 Exam is January 16th -1st slot. Remember - 100 minutes total and it must be done on the day the exam is given.

There are 2 edits to the exam key : 10.) a.) angle 2=25˚ and in question 24.) 20 +3X=16, 3X=-4, X= -4/3 therefore there is no real length for AE that makes the trapezoid relationship true. Good Luck tomorrow or on Wednesday!
