Geometry April 16th - 20th

We had state testing this week, so it was pretty uneventful.
Monday through Wednesday most students were taking their state test.
Thursday (today) we looked at areas of sectors of circles. To find the area of a sector we use a proportion and cross multiply to solve. 
HW: Pg. 784 #5-7, 18-23
Friday we will be looking at the areas of trapezoids, rhombi, and kites. I'm not sure if I will get notes on here, but I will attach the worksheet that will be homework Friday night.

Geometry Honors April 16 - 20th

I haven't had time to get info on here this week. 
Monday we did volume & surface area of pyramids. We just had 2 problems on the board for homework.
Tuesday we talked about volume of prisms. I'll attach the problems we worked on dealing with chlorinating a swimming pool and resurfacing a track.
Wednesday we went over the pool problem and looked more at volume of prisms. 
HW was Pg. 850 #1,2, 10-12, 16-18
Thursday we spent extra time calculating our warm-up problem which was the square footage of a picket fence. We didn't have time to get to the area of regular polygons as planned, we'll do that tomorrow. The second attached sheet will be the homework for Friday.

Geometry April 12th

We went over last nights 2 problem homework and worked on similar triangles today. Each time we set them up into 2 equal fractions, and then cross multiply and divide.

Geometry Honors April 12th

We started going over volume and surface area today. We focused on cones, we'll probably add pyramids tomorrow. The homework is attached.

Geometry April 11th, State Test Review

We reviewed systems of equations today. Since it's all review "stuff" I won't be putting notes on here this week. Tonight we had a whopping 2 problems of homework. 

Geometry Honors April 10th

We reviewed in class today for a test over circles on Wednesday. Students only homework was to prepare a note card of info to be used on the test. I am attaching some review problems for extra practice. If you can find a way to print them, get them done and bring them to class on Wednesday, I'll give you some extra credit. I put the answers on there so you could check your work. 
The only way I could get it on here from my test program was to have them in kind of screwy order, but it's practice problems either way.


Remember for your test:
LABEL with cm, m, mi, in, whenever possible!!


HW: Notecard DUN!

Geometry Honors April 9th

We did some constructions with a compass and ruler today. We were circumscribing circles around triangles. (Say that ten times fast!) Some kids loved it, some definitely did not. The more accurate you were in your constructions, the better the outcome. Most everyone completed it in class, so you probably don't have any homework! 
Tomorrow we will be reviewing for a quiz that we will take on Wednesday. A notecard of notes is allowed, and will be worth points on the quiz. I will try to attach some of the example problems tomorrow afternoon for review for a couple of fighting sisters in Washington DC. :) 

Geometry April 9th

I handed back a quiz today that was just plain ugly. I obviously did not do a very effective job of explaining that stuff. We went over it in class, and did a make-up quiz at the end of the period. Homework was to correct the old quiz, or to do the problems if you were absent. We will be reviewing for state testing this week, so the worksheets we'll be using aren't really "attachable." Due today was one about parallel lines and transversals. 

Geometry April 5th & 6th

Thursday we took a quiz in class. Some seemed to think it went well, others not so much.

Friday: We are starting to review some of the things we have covered this year because we'll be taking the state test April 16th through the 20th. We started with parallel lines and transversals today. We had a worksheet for homework that I don't have saved on the computer, so it's not attached, you'll have to get that from me if you were gone.
Have a Happy Easter!!!!

Geometry April 6th, Equations of Circles

We introduced a basic equation of a circle today. Yesterday we had a number of people absent, so we had a work day.
HW: Pg. 747 #11-18, 21-26

Geometry April 4th

We worked on inscribed circles today. There will be a quiz tomorrow over our circle stuff. Notes are attached. 
HW: Pg. 713-714 #11-20

Geometry Honors April 4th

We learned about tangents to circles today. Those notes are attached, as well as Tuesday's notes for inscribed angles. 

April 3rd Geometry Honors Inscribed Angles

I didn't have a whole lot of time to get notes on here today, but everyone in class seemed to be pretty comfortable with it. If you're stuck, come talk to me!
HW: Pg. 714 #17-20, 23-30

April 3rd Geometry - Arc Length

We did some arc length today in class. Arc length and arc measure are 2 different things. Measure should be in degrees, and length will be in units such as inches, feet, miles, etc.
HW: Pg. 697 #36-41, 45-47
