Class Summary

In today's class we corrected exercises from page 249. After that we had a small introduction to lesson 5-3, about inequalities. We then moved to the computer lab to work at geogebra. For that students needed to have clear the concept of: Remote Interior Angles. If you don't remember it, STUDY !

Students needed to explore the relation of each exterior angle to each remote interior angle and write their conclusions. Who had the correct answers, could go back to the classroom and start on their hw.

Homework assigned is: page 256 # 23 to 36. Take a special attention to exercise 28. Make sure you don't use the appearance of the diagram in order to find the answer. Remember, in geometry diagrams are not up to scale. I'll require reasons for your answers. For questions 31 and 34 you need to remember a property learned in grade 6: the comparison property (When comparing 2 numbers in math there are 3 possibilities: those numbers are equal or the first is greater than the second or the first is lesser than the second)

Even though some students that are missing a lot of classes are doing fine in terms of assessments, don't forget about the importance of being in the classroom daily. You are missing an important part: class participation as well as the computer experience.


Don't forget to start working on your projects. Next week, on Thursday (Nov. 13th) I'll require all the groups to present something done already.
