Angles with Transversals

After reviewing the homework assignment, we moved onto the next portion of angles.

Notes from today's class:

HOMEWORK:  None for tonight.

Angles -- Day 3

Notes from today's class:

HOMEWORK: Finish the second green worksheet in MTN for Tuesday.

Angle Relationships -- Day 2

We continued with Angle Relationships work in our MTN's. Condensed classes in order to allow for Rock Concert Assembly.

HOMEWORK: Green Sheet title “Practice” in MTN; do numbers 3 - 6.

Angle Relationships -- Day 1

Here are the solutions to yesterday's Mini-Eval #15:

Here are the beginning notes to our new unit: Triangle and Angle Theories:

HOMEWORK: None for tonight.

Mini-Evaluation #15

Mini-Evaluation #15 -- Solving for Area took place today.

The last sections that we will be investigating before the end of the year are: 1. triangle theory and 2. translations.

HOMEWORK:  None for tonight.

Practice Solving for Area

Notes from yesterday's and today's class:

HOMEWORK:  Mini-Evaluation #15 is Monday.

PAV - Final Day

Today is our final day working with perimeter, area, and volume formulas. Due to Science NECAP and 7th grade NWEA testing, we will not meet in core classes for tomorrow.

HOMEWORK: None for tonight.

PAV -- Day 4

Students continued working on their PAV formulas. Our goal is to finish by next Monday.

HOMEWORK: None --- Good luck to the participants heading to the Science Fair in Conway!

PAV -- Day 3

Students continued their work with solving formulas for perimeter, area and volume. Lots of interrupts with testing, testing make-ups and shortened class time, thus it is taking much longer than anticipated. Hoping to have all finished by Monday, 5/16.

PAV -- Day 2

Photos of today's work sessions:

HOMEWORK: Review formulas for familiarity.

PAV -- Day 1

Soooo -- today students began their work on using the formulas. Lots of clarifying questions -- thinking -- rethinking -- problem solving -- and working together.  Each day I will post work photos of the day.

HOMEWORK: Review formulas for familiarity in MTN.

Using Formulas -- PAV

This week, students will be working in partner groups to solve perimeter, area, surface area, and volumes for given objects. The parameters for the project were explained along with the choices partner groups have. Below is an example of a problem we completed together, along with some other problems that students will need to solve.

HOMEWORK: Review formulas for familiarity.

Formulas -- Wrap-up

Notes and practice items from today's class:

HOMEWORK: None for tonight or during vacation.

HAVE A SAFE AND RESTFUL WEEK!!!!!

Formulas: P, A, V -- Day 2

Updated notes on formulas:

HOMEWORK:

Formulas: Perimeter, Area, & Volume -- Day 1

Record sheets from last week's game, Pythagorean Theorem, were returned to students. The Reflection Questions sheet and Mini-Eval #13 will be returned on Tuesday.

A variation to the game was taught today, which will be used to play tomorrow during class time. A substitute will be in my place. The next posting will be on Wednesday.

Our next task in math is applying the use for formulas that involve finding the perimeter, area, and volume of given shapes and dimensions. We will continue with more notes and practice items on Wednesday and Thursday of this week.

HOMEWORK:  None for tonight.

Mini-Evaluation #13

First, last night's homework was collected. Then I checked MTN's to see if students had made corrections and copied additional notes from the Ladder Problem on Tuesday. Students completed Mini-Eval #13 during class time.

Pythagorean Theorem Game

Students played a cool board game reviewing the skills and concepts of Pythagorean Theorem and triangles.

While students were working in groups of four, they were recording their rolls and solutions to Pythagorean Theorem problems. They also had question cards with which to respond at designated times and could use their ChromeBooks to "research" for assistance.

HOMEWORK: Complete the Pythagorean Theorem Game Reflection Questions handout for tomorrow.

Pythagorean Wrap-up and Triangle Notes

Discussion from the homework assignment included not just dealing with the given numbers, but considering logical reasoning and what makes sense to the given problem. Always go back to examine whether or not the solution answers the question.

Homework review:

The given sets of triangle lengths were posted and the board, and within their table groups, students needed to determine a Yes - No response to their given set:
