Geometry Monthly Schedule

(Periods A and B)

W 10/1/03

HW due: Review problems on pp. 105-107 #1-7 odd, 10-18 all, 21, 24, 29, 30, 32.

Here is a practice test on Chapter 2 to help you study. After you have worked all the problems, under time pressure, please check your answers and score yourself.

 

Th 10/2/03

Additional review day. Please note this schedule change.

Mr. Kelley (A period) and Dr. Bennett (B period) will help you with your review questions from pp. 105-107, your practice test on Chapter 2, and other questions you may have. Remember, do not look at the answer key until you have worked all the problems.

 

F 10/3/03

Day of rest.

 

M 10/6/03

Test on Chapter 2.

 

T 10/7/03

HW due: Read §§3.1 and 3.2. Write §3.1 #1, 2, 3; §3.2 #1.

 

W 10/8/03

HW due: Write §3.2 #2, 5, 8, 13, 20, 21. For #20, you need not copy the flow diagram; simply treat this as a normal two-column proof. The statements are already numbered for you. For example, enter the first statement in your two-column proof as

1.
Đ1 @ Đ2, M midpt. of sBC, sBE @ sCE

and the first reason as

1. Given

 

Th 10/9/03

HW due: Read §3.3; write §3.3 #2, 5, 7, 11, 12, 19.

 

F 10/10/03

No school.

 

M 10/13/03

No school.

 

T 10/14/03

HW due (double assignment, 70 minutes): Read §3.4; write §3.4 #1, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 13, 15.

 

W 10/15/03

HW due: Correct your §3.4 assignment by comparing answers with friends, or by revisiting the problems and applying techniques of forward and backward chaining. If you are happy with how you did your work over the weekend, no additional written work is required. However, you will probably want to fill in some gaps, since the quality standards will be higher today.

 

Th 10/16/03

HW due: Read §3.5; write §3.5 #3, 4, 5, 7, 8, §3.6 #1, 4, 6, 7, 11.

 

F 10/17/03

HW due: Revisit and clean up your problems in §3.5 and §3.6.

 

Sat 10/18/03

EBay auction ends for item #3435379405 (a Smokey-type computer with power supply and manuals). I have dropped out of the bidding.

 

M 10/20/03

HW due: Read §3.7; write §3.7 #1, 4, 7, 8, 13, 18. Please also solve #15 in §3.4 without using the Isosceles Triangle Theorem from §3.7. (The problem is very easy if you use ITT.)

In class: Review for test.

 

T 10/21/03

Test on Chapter 3 (through §3.7 only).

 

W 10/22/03

HW due: Read §3.8; write §3.8 #3-9 odd, plus your choice of 11 or 12.

You may pick up your test from yesterday during Math Lab.

 

Th 10/23/03

HW due: §3.8 #11 and 12. If you did one of these yesterday, you are already half finished. Note: For #11, it is not sufficient to write “CPCTC” as a one-step justification, since medians are not considered to be corresponding parts. Only angles and sides of congruent triangles can be used with CPCTC. Now, you can certainly build some smaller triangles and get them congruent, and then apply CPCTC. That is legitimate. Also, note that you can save a great deal of work by using the standard math “wlog” abbreviation (see abbreviations link).

In class: Review day.

 

F 10/24/03

Multiple-Choice and A/S/N Quest (70 points) on all of Chapter 3.

Last day of first quarter.

 

Sun 10/26/03

First quarter grades are now being computed. Partial updates will be posted as they become available.

 

M 10/27/03

HW due: Read §§4.1 and 4.2, including all the example problems. Remember that for credit on the HW scan, you must have some reading notes in your notebook.

 

T 10/28/03

HW due: Write §4.1 #1-6 all; §4.2 #1-6 all. Also, please read Mr. Hansen’s Clarifications. (There is no need to make a printout unless you really want to.)

 

W 10/29/03

HW due: Write §4.1 #9, 12, 15; §4.2 #12.

 

Th 10/30/03

Small Quiz on Mr. Hansen’s Clarifications.

HW due:
Read §§4.3 and 4.4; write §4.3 #1, 3, 5, 8, 9, 11, 12. Note for #8: The word “integral” in this context means “consisting of integers.”

First quarter grades are now posted. If you have forgotten your code number, please e-mail me to request a new one.

 

F 10/31/03

No school.
