Today’s bellwork reviewed the similarities and differences of incenters and circumcenters.

For the remainder of the hour, we went over yesterday’s Cwk #1 and Hwk #9 answers and finished discussing incenters and circumcenters with a classwork activity. Attached below are today’s class materials.

Bellworks #1-10 are due tomorrow.

Hwk #10 is assigned online and due tomorrow. You can’t submit answers online, however, it still must be done on loose-leaf paper.

September 9th, 2019

Today’s bellwork reviewed labeling and determining line segments and rays.

For the remainder of the hour, we finished covering SAS #3 (angle bisectors) and began discussing SAS #4 (perpendicular bisectors). Students worked on a patty paper activity that involved them constructing perpendicular bisectors on a line segment.

Hwk #8 is assigned online and due by 11:59pm. Make sure to also turn in a hard copy. Finish questions 11 & 12 on today’s SAS #4.

Attached below are today’s class materials.
