Today we went over the book assignment 5.7 and reviewed line of symmetry before the quiz. Students completed their quiz on 5.6 - 5.7. Students also received a final exam review packet and they are to do 1 -23 (at least). Bring the packet to class and we will review next Monday
Today we used "Miras" (red reflector pieces) to allow us to see an object's reflection across a line. We used this to check our sketches from yesterday in our notes, particularly our reflection of the letter E over different lines. We completed and turned in WS 5.7. We used the remaining time to complete today's book assignment 5.7 (on your 5.7 notes sheet). Book 5.7 is due tomorrow and we will h
Today we did two paper folding activities. We took a triangle and we folded to create the perpendicular bisector of each side. We found the depending on the triangle, the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors (called the circumcenter) met inside an acute triangle, outside the obtuse triangle, and on the hypotenuse of the right triangle. This point is equidistant from the three vertices of the triangle.

This time the intersection point (called the incenter) always met inside the triangle. This point is equidistant from the 3 sides of a triangle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLW23cQROQs Then we talked about reflection and line of symmetry and took notes on 5.7. Students are to complete WS 5.7 for tonight's homework. Today we completed the last page of our notes and then went over any questions on the worksheet 5.6. Students used the rest of the class time compl
Today students received their chapter 5 mini-test back. We used paper folding as a way to illustrate angle bisectors and perpendicular bisectors. We went through the first three pages of notes on 5.6. Students will complete WS 5.6 A & B (side B do 1 -
Today we played the game Chocolate Fix. We had to use reasoning skills to correctly complete the candy orders. I hope you enjoyed the game.
