B Day 11/29/10

Periods 1 and 2 Honors Geometry, grade 9
Objective: Students will identify angles formed by two lines and a transversal in order to prove and use properties of parallel lines. Following the warm up, Mrs. Dennard taugt the lesson on properties of parallel lines, and assigned the practice problems. Students worked in small groups on the assignment as Mrs.Dennard assisted individual students with questions.
Assignment: Text pp 115-121 #1-17,19,25,26,30,37-41.

Period 3 Math Studies IB grade 11
Objective: Students will brainstorm as a class on topics of greatest interest for the internal assessment paper. Following the warm up. Mrs. Dennard facilitated a brainstormin session on possible topics for the internal assessment. Students were asked to pick their top 5 topics, and tell the calss the favorite one, and discuss the possiblity of correlating 2 data sets with that topic.
Asssignment: Do some initial research on your topic of interest. Can you locate appropriate data sources that no one else in the class will use?
No homework this evening.
