A Day

Period 2A and 4A Geometry
Objective: Students will learn to use a compass and protractor in order to measure angles, and construct angle bisectors and perpendicular bisectors. Following the warm up,students worked in small groups to complete the Math "game" of the back of the warm up. When this was completed, Mrs. Dennard distributed protractors and compasses to each student, and taught the new lesson. Mrs. Dennard distributed the Unit 1study guide, and this is due next week on Tuesday.
