Last week we finished our second unit on "Reasoning and Proof". This unit introduced students to the art of creating a proof. We will continue to build on this concept throughout the semester. If you have questions, please get them answered ASAP! We need to build a good foundation for proof because we will be expanding on it all semester.
Just a reminder, if you are interested in a test retake for our second unit you must complete it by Wednesday. In order to be eligible for a retake, you must following complete the following:
- Complete all formative work before the day of the summative assessment
- Make corrections on your original assessment
- Let Mrs. Kamenar know which section(s) you would like to retake.
- Complete the extra practice
- Retake the test by the due date
Please note that the score of the retake will be entered into Infinite Campus even if the score is lower than the original assessment. If you have questions, PLEASE ASK! I am here to help.
Parallel Lines
At the end of last week we started our third unit on parallel lines. We talked about angle relationships that exist when we know we're dealing with parallel lines. We also talked about how we can prove that two lines are parallel. This week we will start the week with a practice ACT. We will take a shortened version of the math portion of the ACT: 36 questions in 36 minutes. We will use this baseline assessment to determine what we need to focus on in order to prepare you for your ACT during your junior year. I know it seems like a long way off, but junior year will be here before you know it!
On Tuesday we will take a formative assessment that covers our new knowledge of angle relationships. We will spend the first half of class reviewing and then take the formative during the second half of class.
Later in the week we will review some important Algebra concepts: including slope and writing equations for lines. We will then connect this to Geometry by discussing equations for parallel and perpendicular lines.
