Geometry Monthly Schedule

(Periods D and E)

M 12/2/02	HW due: Finish filling out your Polygon Feature Chart and make sure you are caught up through §5.6. Please include your answer to the question concerning the number of diagonals found in a convex n-gon.
T 12/3/02	HW due: §5.7 #6, 10, 13, 14, 16, 17. In class (Dr. Bennett substituting for D period, Mr. Andreoli substituting for E period): Go over HW and then spend the rest of the time working on worksheets (due tomorrow). You may work together as long as you are asking "how?" and "why?" (not "what did you get?"). Copying is prohibited. Any instances of outright copying that come to my attention will receive a zero and a possible referral to the Honor Council.
W 12/4/02	HW due: Worksheets distributed on Tuesday. Ground rules: Working together is OK, as long as you ask "how?" and "why?" (not "what did you get?"). Copying is prohibited. Any instances of outright copying that come to my attention will receive a zero and a possible referral to the Honor Council.
Th 12/5/02	No school (snow day).
F 12/6/02	D period: Meet in Room S as usual (not affected by House Tour). E period: Day of Rest. HW (due today for D period, due Monday for E period): pp. 264-267 #1-3 all, 6-10 all, 19, 20. Important: Also be sure to finish pp.2-3 (the two proofs) from Tuesday's worksheet. Most of you did not have a correct set of proofs on Wednesday. Extra credit: Prove (without using the theorem that the angles of a triangle sum to 180 degrees) that a keyboard stand with congruent diagonals and congruent upper members always keeps the keyboard parallel to the ground.
M 12/9/02	D period: Day of Rest. People who missed class Friday should see me in person, however, to avoid falling behind. E period: Meet in Room S as usual. HW due: See entry for F 12/6/02.
T 12/10/02	HW due: §6.1 #1-4 all, plus your choice of 5 or 6.
W 12/11/02	No school (ice storm).
Th 12/12/02	HW due: §6.2 #1, 6, 8, 10, 11, 16; read §6.3.
F 12/13/02	HW due: §6.3 #1, 4, 5, 6, 8; p.289 #7. Note that #1c is really equivalent to the question posed at the end of class: Is the converse of the theorem on p. 283 true?
M 12/16/02	HW due: Work for 35 minutes on review problems from the ends of Chapter 5 and Chapter 6. Work on a selection of these, focusing on your areas of weakness: --pp.264-267 #1, 6-8, 12, 15, 19, 21, 28 --pp.288-290 #1, 4, 5, 8-10, 15, 16 --p.291 #1 Note: For #15 on p.290, see if you can also prove that line PQ is perpendicular to plane m. In class: Review for test.
T 12/17/02	Test on Chapters 5 and 6.
W 12/18/02	HW due today: Print out the practice midterm exam and fill all the blanks in the study guide portion at the beginning.
Th 12/19/02	HW due: §7.1 #2, 3, 4, 11, 13, (20 for challenge); §7.2 #6, 12, 16, 17.
F 12/20/02	D period meets in Room S today as usual; E period meets in Room R. Both classes will be covered by substitute teachers. HW due: §7.3 #1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8. This assignment is shorter than usual because you are expected to attend the Festival of Lessons and Carols on Thursday night at the Cathedral. In class: Be sure you understand all 7 answers to #17 in §7.2. (A few people were still confused yesterday.) Then go over answers to §7.3 #1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8. Although we did not discuss the formulas yesterday, these problems are straightforward applications of the formulas. As you recall from your midterm study sheet, you are expected to know the formulas by heart. I apologize that we will have only a regular class today. Attendance will be taken. Tesselation/Music Day will have to be postponed until 2003. Your assignment over the break is to prepare for the midterm and to work all the way through the practice midterm exam.
Christmas Break	Don’t let your brain go to seed! Use those spare minutes to work on the practice midterm exam.
