A Day 12/8/10

Period 1A Geometry grades 10-12
Objective: Students will use a transversal in proving lines parallel and relate parallel and perpendicular lines. Following the warm up, Mrs.Dennard answered questions on the homework, and checked all work by students.
Assignment pp.126-127, #16-25
Quiz on 3-2 on Friday.


Period 3 Math Studies IN Grade 11
Objective: Students will demonstrate skill in solving problems of probability and bivariate correlation. Following the warm up, Mrs.Dennard disributed the (former) quiz question, for and addittional 30 minutes. This is a clear indication that homework is not being thoughtfully done! If you are simply copying your work from the back of the book, or from someone else in class, you will not pass the May exams.
It really is that simple.
