Geometry Gems

Monday, December 16: Today we covered the last piece of new information for the semester – CPCTC. We discussed what it means, howand when to use it, and practiced implementing it into a few proofs.

Tuesday, December 17: We practiced our prove/justify and vocab/naming skills today with a whiteboard activity.

Wednesday, December 18: Today was all about better preparing for tomorrow’s assessment! Students picked up two review worksheets (and an optional extra to practice those level 4 questions) to practice throughout the hour.

Thursday, December 19: It’s finally here! Our last unit assessment! Make sure that you’ve studied and prepared as best you can!

Friday, December 20: It’s the day before break! Perfect chance to continue practicing geometry and let AgileMind know what you think once again! Students also picked up SAT Packet 2, which is due the Friday after break.

Monday, December 9: We got started on wrapping everything together, revisiting all of our triangle congruence shortcuts and actually using them to determine if certain diagrams are congruent or not.

Tuesday, December 10: We continued our work from yesterday, but made it all a bit more formal and completed/wrote out actual proofs of triangle congruence. There was also a new practice assignment posted to AgileMind today!

Wednesday, December 11: Moylan and Pniewski were out of the class today, so students worked on reviewing their skills at applying triangle properties to prepare for Friday’s reassessment.

Thursday, December 12: Today continued our review work from throughout the unit. Students checked over their work from yesterday, and also worked on a new review posted to AgileMind during class.

Friday, December 13: Assessment on Applying Triangle Properties today! Make sure that you’ve studied and prepared!

Monday, December 2: We launched into Unit 9 today, bringing everything together as we started working on using our triangle properties to prove and justify that certain triangles are congruent. We talked about what that means and started looking for shortcuts to make it easier.

Tuesday, December 3: Continuing our search for the shortcuts, we realized that it took 3 pair of corresponding congruent parts to work as a shortcut guarantee. Students then worked together to determine which groups of corresponding parts could work for a guarantee.

Wednesday, December 4: Moylan was out today, so students worked on a review and reinforce worksheet for all of our triangle knowledge and turned it in at the end of the hour.

Thursday, December 5: Moylan was still out today (hey, making your final takes a lot of time to make sure that it’s right) so students continued working on reviewing and reinforcing skills from earlier in the semester. Psst, this is another final review, just like the three you got the week before break.

Friday, December 6: Moylan is back! So we got back into the swing of things with Unit 9 and our congruent triangles. We explored the particular situation in which “SSA” works and also had a really quick assignment on AgileMind.
