Homework Tues 4/29

Todays work in class began with identifying characteristics of Polynomials, using pg. 384, #1d-1j, and finished with symmetry and tessellations. We also looked at regular and semi-regular tessellations and for homework will work on pg. 385, #3, pg. 387-388, #6, and pg. 391-392, #5.

No Classes Wed 4/16

Today is Career Day, so no Blue classes today.

In class Tues 4/15

Today we will do the Unit 5, Lesson 1 and 2 Assessment on Geometry. Be able to determine size and shape using perimeter, circumference, area, volume, and surface area of geometric plane-shapes and space-shapes.

In Class Mon 4/14

Today we will do the Unit 5, Lesson 1 and 2 Assessment on Geometry. Be able to determine size and shape using perimeter, circumference, area, volume, and surface area of geometric plane-shapes and space-shapes.

Homework Fri 4/11

Today we continued working on pg 374-376, #3b through 9. We also looked at the review/practice problems for the assessment which will be on Tuesday.

Homework Thurs 4/10

Today we continued working on pg 374-376, #3b through 9. We also looked at the review/practice problems for the assessment which will be on Monday.

Homework Wed 4/9

Today we began work due Tuesday 4/15 on pg. 374-376, #3 through #9. Friday will be a Unit 5, Lesson 1 and 2 review. There will be the assessment over Unit 5, Lesson 1 and 2 on Tuesday.
Be prepared to sketch on square and isometric dot paper 2-D and 3-D projections. Also be able to use the Pythagoras Theorem to solve problems and find perimeter, circumference, area, volume, lateral area, and surface area for shapes such as triangles, squares, rectangles, parallelograms, rhombus, trapezoid, kite, circle, prisms, pyramid, cylinder, cone, and sphere. Use your formula sheet.

Homework Mon 4/7

Todays homework is pg. 357, #4, using the handout provided of the various shapes, find the perimeter and area of each of the shapes. Using a formula sheet like (http://www.pen.k12.va.us/VDOE/Assessment/Manipulatives/GEOMETRY_BP2003.pdf)
is also useful for finding the perimeter, circumference, area, surface area, lateral area, and volume of geometric shapes. By the end of the unit, be able to identify the shapes and their descriptions/features.
In addition, use http://msad56.agilemind.com, My Courses tab, Geometry section, Topic #31, Area Formulas and read the Introduction, Exploring, and Summary sections.
