This week we will continue our study of the basics of Geometry. We will start the week by talking about the Segment and Angle Addition Postulates. Basically, we'll be talking about how the pieces of a segment (or angle) and be combined to talk about the entire segment (or angle). We'll also check in to make sure that students are able to accurately measure line segments and angles.
On our second day of class for the week, we will continue to talk about more basic geometric vocabulary and how to mark in relationships that exist within figures. We will learn to use markings to show that segments are the same length, angles have the same measure, and how to show parallel and perpendicular relationships.
On our third day of class for the week, students will complete a formative assessment to check in to make sure that we are on the right track. Students will have the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge of the segment and angle addition postulates and their knowledge of basic geometric vocabulary. Once this is complete, students will learn some basic geometric constructions using a compass and a straight edge. Students will need to have these tools for class!
I hope we are off to a great start to the school year. Please contact me if you have any questions!
