#2.5

Aim: to use IR to write good defintions for polygons

• copy ALL bold-faced words and their definitions (this means you actually have to READ and UNDERSTAND the 2 pages these words are found on!)
• I 2.5 (I=investigation)
• (33-34)

#2.6

Aim: to use IR to write good defintions for triangles

• I 2.6
• (1-15) all

#2.7

• I 2.7

Have a PG-13 weekend!

#2.4

Aim: to write good geometric definitions for line and angle relationships

• I.2.4.1
• (1-10) all

don't forget: you have an nth term quiz tomorrow!!!! Brush up on your skills by practicing the Pre-Quiz and the extra spicy nth term problems!

#2.2

Aim: to know basic geometric symbols and their meanings

• (1-23) odd
• (26-38) all

REMINDER!:

you have your first "for rel" NB (notebook) Check tomorrow!

Do what you have to do tonight in order to be successful tomorrow!

#2.1

Aim 1: to know geometric vocabulary words
Aim 2: to know basic geometric notation and symbols

• read (for comprehension) pgs.76-79
• copy ALL the bold-faced words and their definitions
• (3, 5, 9, 15, 20, 21, 24, 26, 32, 41, 42)

Just because I didn't assign any Ch. 1 problems doesn't mean that you should take the night off from practicing nth term problems. Keep your skills sharp for Friday's quiz by randomly choosing and redoing some of the ones you got wrong. A good review would include doing a problem that would satisfy each one of our lesson objectives (and we've had many).

Make sure your notebook is in order for your first notebook check tomorrow!

WELCOME!!!

You have entered the danger zone. Warning! Warning! Warning! (sirens blaring in the background....woop! woop! woop!) You have just arrived at your new blog site. This is the place where I will post your homework assignments, news events, and notices of upcoming tests. It is also a place where you can communicate with your fellow geometricians as you make that slow, treacherous journey through my Geometry Honors class. I LOVE this course and take great pride in teaching it. It is my hope that you will eventually develop the same passion for it that I have. If not, at least gain enough knowledge to perform at a very high standard on the SAT or ACT.Anyhoo, use this blog as a means of communicating with your fellow classmates. For instance, if you don't know how to do problem number 11 tonight, then you can post it. Hopefully, someone will read your posting and respond with a hint or an explanation of how to arrive at the answer. Use this blog to your benefit.Also, there are helpful mathematical links on the left hand side. Click on each of them to see what they look like. Every now and then, I will offer extra credit for logging in to some of these sites.Until then, happy blogging!!!!

Ms. Chan
