Geometry; 10/1

We went over the homework assignment at the beginning of the period before the students took their chapter 2 quiz.  Once they finished the quiz, the students then worked on an extra credit logic puzzle.



Assignment:  logic puzzle option

Honors Geometry; 10/1

We took our Chapter 2 Test in class today.  The students finished up various review assignments after the test.

Assignment:  none

Geometry; 9/30

We reviewed a few more proofs together before starting on our review assignment for the chapter 2 quiz.  The quiz tomorrow will cover conditional statements, algebraic proofs, postulates and theorems as reasons in proofs, and how to work geometric proofs.

Assignment:  Chapter 2 Quiz review packet

Honors Geometry; 9/30

We worked through some review questions together in preparation for the chapter 2 test tomorrow.  We covered one more 2 column proof together as well as some of the wording involved with the theorems with perpendicular lines.  After this, the students spent the rest of the time working on their chapter 2 review packet.  The answers to this packet appear below.

We continued working on 2-column proofs today by taking a look at how theorems are proved.  We went through two of them -- the midpoint theorem and the angle bisector theorem.  The students got to see how these theorems are proven and saw how some new reasons can be used in proofs.

Honors Geometry; 9/29

We continued working on how to plan proofs and come up with various statements and reasons today.  We went through 3 more proofs together before getting started on the homework proofs.  We plan to review tomorrow in preparation for the chapter 2 test on Thursday.

Geometry; 9/28

We continued our work with proofs today by introducing the concept of how to solve a geometric proof.  We went through 4 proofs together before getting started on the homework, and were introduced to different ways in which to use the postulates, definitions, and algebra properties as reasons.  The students then got started on their assignment.
