(Geometry,
Periods E and F)
|
M
11/1/04 |
No additional HW due. |
|
|
T
11/2/04 |
HW due:
Read and respect §4.4; write §4.3 #1, 2, 9, 11. Reading notes are not
required for §4.3, but they are required for §4.4. |
|
|
W
11/3/04 |
HW due:
§4.4 #12, plus any 3 chosen from #2, 3, 4, and 5. Note that #12 is required
for everyone. You may use the abbreviation PBT (for Perpendicular Bisector
Theorem) when referring to either of the equidistance theorems. Note that
they are converses of each other. If time permits, start reading §4.5 (no
notes required yet). |
|
|
Th
11/4/04 |
HW due: §4.4 #2-5 all, 12. Do all of these properly (including the missing problem from #2-5) if you have not already done so. Also, hand in the PBT Mastery Quiz and skim §4.5 (reading notes are not required yet). |
|
|
F
11/5/04 |
No school (faculty
meetings). |
|
|
M
11/8/04 |
HW due: Read
§§4.5 and 4.6; write §4.5 #1, 2, 4; §4.6 #2, 3, 7-12 all. Remember that ^ lines almost always have opposite reciprocal
slopes. (For example, if one of the lines has a slope of 2/5, the other must
have a slope of –5/2.) The only exception occurs if one of the lines is
vertical; a vertical line has undefined slope, and a horizontal line ^ to it must have slope of 0. |
|
|
T
11/9/04 |
HW due:
Review problems (pp. 206-209) #1, 2, 8, and a selection of other problems you
find useful and interesting to help you prepare for the test. As always, a
minimum of 35 minutes’ worth of work will be required. |
|
|
W
11/10/04 |
HW due:
Read §5.1; write §5.1 #3, 5, 11, and one creative problem. For your creative problem,
think of a theorem of life, and use a proof by contradiction to establish
that the theorem is essentially true. Please read some examples of proofs by contradiction. |
|
|
Th
11/11/04 |
Test on Chapter 4. Proof by contradiction will not be covered. However, symbolic logic
(as on the Chapter 3 test) is likely to be covered again. |
|
|
F
11/12/04 |
HW due:
Carefully write out proofs by contradiction to each of the theorems listed below.
The second one is easier as a direct proof, but I would like you to do it as
an indirect proof for practice anyway. Theorem I is based on the E period
version of yesterday’s test, and II is based on the F period version. You may
discuss the test with anyone in the world, since everyone has now taken it. |
|
|
M
11/15/04 |
HW due: Minimal
reading notes are required this time (for the top of p. 229 only). Then write
§5.2 #11, 13, 16, 18, 20; §5.3 #1, 6-14 even, 30. |
|
|
T
11/16/04 |
HW due: Read §5.4 and review your quadrilateral notes from
last week. There will be a quiz today
on the various types of quadrilaterals. Also, finish up any problems from §§5.2
and 5.3 that you were not able to finish for yesterday. |
|
|
W
11/17/04 |
Another Quiz on Quadrilaterals: In addition to answering questions of the type you
saw yesterday, you will be given two of the following five shapes, chosen
randomly. You will need to write
step-by-step instructions for each construction and then construct each shape using compass and
straightedge. 1. Quadrilateral 2. Kite 3. Rhombus 4. Parallelogram 5. Trapezoid In class: Learn the remaining
constructions (isosceles trapezoid, rectangle, square). |
|
|
Th
11/18/04 |
Yet Another Quiz on Quadrilaterals: Today you will have several constructions, chosen
randomly from a set of all 8: 1. Quadrilateral 2. Kite 3. Rhombus 4. Parallelogram 5. Trapezoid 6. Isosceles Trapezoid 7. Rectangle 8. Square Again, as yesterday, you
will be required to write instructions for one or more. |
|
|
F
11/19/04 |
HW due:
Copy chart of quadrilateral properties from
board; write §5.5 #1, 2, 4, 10-12 all, 15, 17, 19, plus your choice of 5, 6,
or 7. Although reading §5.5 is recommended, no additional reading notes are
required. |
|
|
M
11/22/04 |
HW due:
Read the family tree of plane figures,
plus §5.6; write §5.6 #1-11 all, 16, 20. |
|
|
T
11/23/04 |
HW due: No
additional problems, but make sure you have §5.5 #17 and 19, plus all the
assigned problems from §5.6. If everyone has done a respectable job on these,
we will arrange to have no HW during the Thanksgiving break. |
|
|
W
11/24/04 |
No school. |
|
|
Th
11/25/04 |

Thanksgiving! |
|

F
11/26/04 |
No school. |
|
|
M
11/29/04 |
Classes resume. No additional
HW is due. (However, you might want to use a day of your long 5-day weekend
to get caught up on a few old loose ends. Hint, hint.) |
|
|
T
11/30/04 |
HW due:
Read §5.7; write §5.7 #6, 9, 13, 17. |
