What's Going On? February 1-5th

ACT Check-In Assessment


Earlier in the year students completed a 36 question practice ACT assessment that contains concepts that students have previously learned as well as topics that will be covered throughout our Honors Geometry course.  On Monday, students will complete a mid-year assessment to check our progress.  We have been practicing some of our most difficult skills, so hopefully we will see an increase in performance and understanding in our skills.

Similarity

After we complete Monday's ACT check-in assessment we will continue our study of similarity.  Last week we talked about how we can show two figures are similar and we discovered some triangle similarity shortcuts.

This week, we will talk about similarities that exist within right triangles and proportional relationships that exist within triangles.  At the end of the week, we will take our study of similarity to the coordinate plane where we will talk about dilations (stretches and shrinks) of figures on a graph.
