In class and homework Mon 3/7

Today in groups we created six triangles following handout directions to discover relations between the congruent parts of triangles and whether the triangles themselves were congruent. We discussed the SSS, SAS, ASA, and AAS theorems and postulate. For those who finished early, we worked on the handout on angle/triangle relationships (pg. 99, chapt. 4 guided practice, and pgs. 101-114 from the Geometry text). This will be worked on Wednesday in class as well.

Homework Thurs 3/3

Today we used the Core-Plus 2nd ed. handout (pg. 47-54) to examine Angle and Triangle relationships. Be able to measure angles with a protractor. Add to your vocabulary acute, obtuse, right angles and triangles, complementary and supplementary angles, vertical, corresponding, alternate exterior, and alternate interior angles, isosceles, scalene, and equilateral triangles, and congruence.

Homework Wed 3/2

Today we used the Core-Plus 2nd ed. handout (pg. 47-54) to examine Angle and Triangle relationships. Be able to measure angles with a protractor. Add to your vocabulary acute, obtuse, right angles and triangles, complementary and supplementary angles, vertical, corresponding, alternate exterior, and alternate interior angles, isosceles, scalene, and equilateral triangles, and congruence.

Homework Tues 3/1

Today we started using isometric projections on pg. 341-342, #1 and 2. In order to visualize 2D and 3D objects we used cubes to construct the objects from views such as Front, Top, and Right sides. Isometric and square dot paper are required to draw your three dimensional and two dimensional projections.

As an extension, check the site: http://illuminations.nctm.org/ActivityDetail.aspx?ID=125
which allows you to do depictions of 3-dimensional objects.

Starting in class, but continuing for homework, do the handout packet on work involving angles and triangles.

Vocabulary: Acute Angles, Obtuse Angles, Right Angles, Complementary and Supplementary Angles, Vertical Angles, Corresponding Angles, Alternate Exterior Angles, Alternate Interior Angles, Transversal Line.
