A Day
Honors Geometry
Progress Reports were distributed to all students showing all work turned in by December 18,2009. Students were encouraged to check this report with their papers to ensure that I have recorded scores accurately.
The 50 point quiz held on our last class (Dec 17) was returned, and I took several questions from students on individual questions.
The Chapter 4 Project was distributed. This is due on or before Jan. 22, 2010
Objective: Students will use triangle congruence and CPCTC to prove that triangles are congruent.
CPCTC stands for "Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent"
Assignment: Text page 201 #1-9 odds open book quiz. Complete p.204-207 #1-14 (assignment from last class) if not yet done. Turn this in today.
Homework: Page 206-207 #15-19 and 21-25.
*****Students should dress warmly for this class as the classroom (Room A-238) temperature is between 45 and 56 degrees. Please dress in uniform colors only.

Honors Geometry
Objective: Students will demonstrate skillsin proving two triangles congruent by SSS, ASA, SAS Postulates, and the AAS Theorem. Folowing the warm-up, there was a brief question and answer period before the larger quiz. Students took a quiz on Chapter 4-1 through 4-3. Students atarted on Chapter 4-4 - Using CPCTC, after the quiz. Homework: Text p. 204-205, #1-14.
Math Studies IB
Objective: Students will analyze graphs of quadratic functions in order to solve real-world problems. Following the warm-up, a brief question and answer period was held for any homework questions.
There was a brief discussion of the validity of the IB grading criteria, in that multiple methods for dsolving problems are often not considered for points. Mrs. Dennard urged students to use the methods presented in class, and in their IB texts to achieve the most points on the exams. Indeed, when there is a relatively high point value for a simple question, make sure you are showing you all of the procedures used to get the solution. The high point value is the clue that method points are likely to be counted in here.
Students were guided through a review of quadratic graphing in the Oxford text pp.184-192.
Assignment: Exercise 4.3: #1-7c.
******Quiz on Friday******
Internal Assessment Project Title and paragraph is due Jan. 4, 2010!!
